Welcome! I’m Liz.If you have been thinking about therapy for a while but feel unsure if it will work for you, you're not alone. It is normal to hesitate, but taking that first step can change everything. I am an integrative counsellor, supervisor, and lecturer with 20 years' experience. More importantly, I am a human being who brings genuine warmth, deep respect, and a sense of humour to our sessions. I will never falsely promise to magically solve all your problems. What I do promise is to stand by your side, working ethically and safely to help you navigate what might be the most difficult chapter of your life.
As an Integrative therapist I offer a solid foundation of person centred relational depth, integrated with both Transactional Analysis and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This means that all my clients are offered a unique approach which is best suited to their issue and personality.
Clients sometimes flirt with the idea of therapy for a long term, believing it can work for others but not for them. An initial chat on the phone should alleviate any initial concerns you have so you can move forward with confidence. Or you can email me and I will respond within 12 hours.

I don't make any claims to be a specialist in any one area. However, I have 18 years experience of working with clients in different settings, plus working with supervisees, one to one and group, for over 15 years. I offer long term and short term therapy, drawing on a range of approaches to suit the client. Teaching keeps me up to date on research in all areas.

As a lecturer, I could easily fill this page with academic theories and complex psychology terms. But when you are sitting across from me, none of that jargon matters. What matters is you. I tailor every session to your unique needs, personality, and goals. There is no rigid formula here. Whether you need short or long term therapy, we will figure it out together.
