Nelli Rubante

Trainee Psychotherapist, offering therapy in South Liverpool and online

I provide a warm and supportive place where you can talk things through, make sense of what is going on, and explore what feels difficult at your own pace. I work with people experiencing change, uncertainty, and emotional distress, using a reflective, relational approach.

I am a trainee member of the UKCP and a member of the Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, where I am currently training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.

I am especially drawn to working with people navigating cultural identity and belonging, life transitions, trauma, and questions of meaning and spirituality. I also have experience supporting people affected by cancer and long-term health conditions, and I remain interested in this area.

My Journey into Psychotherapy

My interest in psychology and human behaviour has developed through both personal and professional experience. I grew up in Latvia and have lived in the UK for almost 20 years. My experience of moving countries, and being bilingual, continues to shape how I understand identity, belonging, and the way we experience the world. Alongside this, raising a young family has deepened my understanding of change, responsibility, and holding multiple roles in life.

My first degree is in Industrial Design, and I worked for some time in service delivery, CAD design, and engineering, which further deepened my ability to adapt to different settings and environments and to work with people.

My formal journey in psychology began over a decade ago with a postgraduate certificate in psychology. Over the years, I continued exploring different approaches and perspectives, which eventually led me to train in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy.
