Dr. Ute Liersch

With her rare mix of professional excellence, genuine empathy, and refreshing humor, Dr. Ute has guided me through life’s most difficult and defining moments. Her support has been essential in navigating crises and growth alike. Thank you so much, Dr. Ute.

Ute is a lifeline in difficult moments. When things seem very dark, Ute is able to help the mind to rethink and positions things differently to make them easier to navigate and manage. She is very approachable and emphatic and I treasure all the conversation we have had. I use the skills she taught me over and over again and they have been life changing in the way I’m able to cope with difficult moments in life. I cannot recommend her enough.

From our very first session, I felt heard and understood by Dr. Ute Liersch. Her approach is highly non-judgemental and empathetic. I felt safe to bring any thoughts and feelings into the discussion. During our time together I was navigating some significant life challenges which had taken a toll on my mental health and self belief. I felt so much more equipped to deal with these challenges and see them as opportunities for growth. I also really respected Dr. Ute's sensitivity - guiding me gently towards insights and perspectives I hadn't previously considered. Her deep knowledge and versatility of tools certainly inspired a lot of change and hope in my life. I am deeply grateful for my experience with Dr. Ute Liersch and wouldn't hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.

I am delighted to have this opportunity to express my respect and appreciation for Dr. Ute von Lerse and her extraordinary professional abilities as a first class clinician. She has been instrumental in my being able return from a deep and dark place into which I plunged four years ago. She has been my inspiration and my salvation as we worked so hard together on the most demanding, yet most satisfying, journey of my long life. Her sagacity and understanding has enabled me to not only regain myself but also to grow as a person and achieve a normality and an enjoyment and understanding of life which I had never considered possible.. Thank you Dr. Ute. I shall remain indebted and grateful to your skill and understanding for the rest of my life. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who is willing to work hard to regain their mental health and to grow for the benefit ,not only of themselves, but those who love them to benefit as well.

I have benefited greatly from Dr Liersch's help and have never felt demeaned or patronised while with her - a problem I've had in the past.

I had an amazing experience with Dr Ute, she is very kind and sensitive. Also she addresses everything directly, which is quality I appreciate.

As someone who initially got to know Dr Liershe as a university professor, I've always found her communication style very clear, thought-provoking and welcoming at the same time. During my therapy sessions, she offered a rare balance of support and challenge. Coming from a tradition of existential therapy, Dr Liersch actively encouraged me to explore the role of investigation and interpretation in the healing process. She helped me learn how to celebrate my aspirations and capacities while acknowledging my limitations. I could not thank her enough for her support, understanding and always positive approach!

Clear, supportive and understanding. Takes the time to listen and ensure she understands.

Dr Ute is fantastic, caring, sympathetic, and yet straight to the point. Her explanations are clear and showed a very targeted approach to me and what I was struggling with. Every week we worked together, Dr Ute took the time to see how I'd been doing, and tailor the session around that. I genuinely felt like we were able to get an understanding of one another, and that helped me tremendously with improving as the weeks went on. Couldn't recommend enough, I feel much more free from myself than before I started working with Dr Ute.

Her work with me in a small group at Chelsea and Westminster Chronic Pain Unit was transformative whilst done with kindness and patience. It enabled me to move away from my dependency on nerve pain killers which were affecting my ability to think and I successfully completed my masters as a result!
