Welcome
Welcome
Modern life is full of capable, intelligent people.
But capability alone doesn’t protect against burnout, disconnection, or quiet overwhelm.
Performance isn’t just cognitive.
It’s emotional. Relational. Existential. Human.
At Liminal Psychology, I work with senior professionals, founders, and key employees who are outwardly successful — yet internally stretched, questioning, or carrying more than they show.
This is therapy for people who don’t want platitudes, quick fixes, or surface-level coping.
This is work for those standing at a threshold —
between what has been and what’s next.
You’re in the right place.

What Is Liminal Psychology?
What Is Liminal Psychology?
Liminal means in-between.
The space between certainty and change.
Between success and meaning.
Between coping and living.
Liminal Psychology offers bespoke, depth-oriented psychotherapy for people navigating complexity — in work, identity, relationships, or life itself.
I help you slow down enough to hear what’s really happening beneath the noise — and act with clarity once you do.
Who I Work With

You may recognise yourself here:
You’re a senior professional, executive, founder, or key decision-maker
You function well — but it costs you
You carry responsibility, pressure, and complexity quietly
You’re navigating burnout, anxiety, neurodivergence, grief, or transition
You’re tired of “coping” and want something deeper and more sustainable
You don’t need fixing.
You don’t need motivating.
You need space, depth, and intelligent psychological support.

About Bukky
About Bukky
Formally:
I’m a qualified psychotherapist with a Master’s degree from Regent’s University London, fully insured and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I’ve worked across NHS services, private healthcare (including the Priory), and international private practice, supporting individuals, couples, families, and organisations from diverse backgrounds.
Practically:
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade as a corporate lawyer — including training at a Magic Circle firm and working as General Counsel in high-pressure environments.
I understand performance, responsibility, ambition — and the loneliness that often sits beneath them.
That lived experience shapes everything I do.
I bring:
analytical rigor
emotional depth
cultural sensitivity
and a deeply human presence
Personally:
I believe therapy is one of the last places we get to be fully human.
Not to be stripped down —
but to come home to yourself with clarity, strength, and softness intact.
Here, you can think out loud.
Be uncertain.
Cry, swear, sit in silence, or say the thing you’ve never said at work or at home.
No performance.
No mask.
Just space to understand yourself — and move forward with intention.

At Liminal Psychology, therapy focuses on clarity, meaning, emotional regulation, and sustainable change — especially for people navigating pressure, complexity, and transition.
