1-1 Mentorship
For
Newly Qualified Therapists
From newly qualified to quietly confident — without doing it alone.
Supportive, hands-on guidance for newly qualified therapists who want to feel professional, grounded, and confident with real clients.
Feel supported in your first steps
You’ve finished your training — and now you’re standing at the edge, wondering:
-
What if I freeze in a session?
-
What if I’m not professional enough yet?
-
Why do I still feel overwhelmed after all that training?
-
You’re not failing.
You’re integrating.
Most courses teach techniques — but they don’t teach you how to be a therapist in the room, holding responsibility, presence, and care.
Confidence doesn’t come from doing more courses.
It comes from supported experience.
From having a calm, experienced guide while you:
-
Practice your hands-on skills
-
Learn to trust your instincts
-
Regulate your nervous system in sessions
-
Step into visibility without panic
Support isn’t a weakness.
It’s part of being professional.
I'm Ari Liakeas, and I've been where you are now.
I know how you feel, and after 11 years in my therapy career, I couldn't have done it without the support and mentors who invested their time and energy to help me feel more confident and set me on an incredibly rewarding therapist's journey.
Now I share years of experience in getting it right and honestly sometimes wrong with newly qualified therapists who care deeply, sometimes so deeply it turns into self-doubt.
I believe confidence is built in the body, not just the mind.
And that no one should have to figure out this transition alone.
This work is about becoming who you already trained to be — safely, steadily, and with support.
You don’t need to feel ready.
You just need a safe place to begin.

Let’s take the next step together
Becoming a therapist is a calling — but the early days can feel lonely, overwhelming, and exposing.
I created this space because I’ve seen too many capable, heart-led therapists doubt themselves simply because they were left without support after training.
-
Confidence is embodied
-
Support creates professionalism
-
Safety creates growth
-
You don’t need fixing — you need holding
If you’re newly qualified and quietly wondering, “Am I ready?”
This space was made for you.
