Liam Blanden
Clinical Psychologist Registrar

Before training as a psychologist, I spent years on the tools as a landscaper and horticulturalist, working alongside men of all ages. That experience gave me a firsthand appreciation of the challenges many men and adolescent boys face, and how easily those challenges go unspoken. It ultimately drew me to psychology, and my professional experience since then spans private practice, university clinics, and more than a decade working in education.
I primarily work with adult men, while also supporting adolescent boys. My approach is collaborative and tailored to the individual. I believe therapy should fit the person rather than the other way around, so I work with clients to understand their goals, build on their strengths, and develop strategies relevant to their situation.
While my primary approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I also incorporate strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) depending on each client's needs.
My goal is for every client to leave sessions with a clearer understanding of what's keeping them stuck, and practical tools they can use in everyday life.
