Counsellor & Psychotherapist
About Liz
I am a master’s-level qualified psychotherapist and a pre-accredited member of the IACP. I work with a wide range of client presentations, including anxiety, depression, suicidality, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, cancer diagnosis, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and life-stage transitions such as young adulthood, perimenopause, and retirement.
My approach is pluralistic and trauma-informed. This means therapy is a dynamic and collaborative process, shaped around what feels most helpful for each client to create the conditions for growth, healing, and personal fulfilment at any given time. I aim to offer a calm, compassionate, and grounded therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and supported at their own pace.
My integrative core training is Person-Centred Therapy and Reality Therapy / Choice Theory, and my work incorporates interventions and strategies of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
