I’m Liga Walters.
Psychotherapist specialising in trauma treatment.
I apply an effective integration of:

Somatic Therapy

Emotion-Focused Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
About me.
Having had my own fair share of traumatic experiences, both big and small (trauma comes in all shapes and sizes!) I understand how it feels to walk around with the ‘Living Legacy’ of trauma (a term coined by the brilliant Janina Fisher). This lead me on an 11 year journey to find a way to ease my suffering and cultivate inner peace.
Over those 11 years I dedicated myself to intensive study and application of a variety of trauma healing modalities, including but not limited to: CBT, existentialism, somatic and women’s embodiment practices, yoga (philosophy & scriptures, traditional hatha, yin & restorative), meditation and mindfulness, Buddhism, Shamanism and our innate connection with the cycles of nature and our menstrual cycle as women.
All the different paths I walked and challenges I faced on this journey continuously fuelled an ever-growing fire of passion and love to be of service as a Trauma-Informed Psychotherapist.
Nowadays, thanks to the healing I have experienced and tools under my belt, as well as a dedication to meditation, I experience contentment, harmony and stability than ever before. Albeit, at times, life is very busy, challenging and chaotic, especially as sole carer of my 3 year old boy! In my free time I enjoy being in nature, especially the beach or fresh water swimming holes, meditating, gardening, reading and studying (yes I consider study a leisure activity!).
My qualifications.
As a passionate researcher and life-long learner, I am often undertaking some form of study. I have a wide range of interests and when I am really passionate about something it becomes one of my ‘tabs’ in my ever-expanding areas of research. My current research is in Somatic Therapy and the Neuroscience of trauma to further deepen my knowledge and understanding of these areas.
