Liisa has spent over two decades studying and working in the field of body-mind therapies, mental health and personal transformation. She was determined to master the most powerful evidence-based tools and techniques in existence to help herself and others fast-track from stress, anxiety, emotional issues and trauma to inner freedom.
Liisa has a Strategic approach to therapy: it is practical and focused on creating specific outcomes fast. It is all about putting you back in charge of yourself and your life; your thoughts, feelings, interpretations, and actions. No amount of therapy can change the past. What we actually want to change is how we respond to present day situations in a new, more functional way.
With Liisa you’ll spend less time talking about the past, the story or the why. The focus of strategic therapy is mostly on the how – how do I actually change this (thinking pattern / behaviour / reaction / belief / relationship…) in the now? You will tackle issues from all angles, addressing not only the mind and cognitive side, but also the emotions as well as the body and nervous system.
This approach makes therapy more effective, so you can expect outcomes after as few as 1-3 sessions.
You can work with Liisa in person or online, through her signature program Anxiety Free in 6 Weeks, or the Inner Freedom app. Her book A Crash Course in Emotional Freedom is available here at Central Wellness, or online bookstores across the globe.
