I also work with bereavement and loss, where anxiety can often feel heightened.
Hi, my name is Liz, and I am a counsellor based in Buxton. I see clients face-to-face in Buxton and also offer online sessions for those who prefer the flexibility of therapy at home. I support people in understanding anxiety, not by fighting against it, but by learning what it’s trying to protect. Helping to gain a deeper understanding of your triggers, so they feel less overwhelming, and how to respond in ways that feel calmer, steadier, and more in control.

I work with individual clients and groups affected by trauma, PTSD or CPTSD (stemming from armed conflicts, physical or sexual abuse, childhood trauma), Anxiety disorders (i.e. OCD, phobias, panic attacks and GAD), neurodiverse development and function (ASD, ADHD and/or specific learning difficulties), depression, loss, bereavement and addiction.
Private practice and NHS practitioner, with over 20-year background in neuropsychology, I structure therapy around the needs of my clients. Using Trauma-informed practice I employ evidence-based techniques such as EMDR, CBT, ERP and DBT, in conjunction with psychoeducation. Client-Centred approach is central to my therapeutic aim of growing self-awareness and offering clients a proactive involvement in their therapeutic process. My private practice is based in Derbyshire and virtually on Zoom, where in a confidential, safe and empathic environment I have been supporting clients from across the UK, Europe and further afield.

Much of what shapes us lives below the surface — old patterns, shame, grief, relationships, the body’s responses.
My work is relational and depth-oriented, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. Together we explore the stories your symptoms and patterns may be carrying. This isn’t about quick fixes, but about understanding yourself more deeply and finding a clearer, more grounded way of living.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed? Maybe it's pressure at work, a difficult relationship, or a growing sense that something needs to change. You may already know exactly what's wrong but haven't found a way through it yet. Many of the men I work with have spent a long time managing on their own before reaching out. Some arrive with a specific difficulty in mind. Others just want space to think honestly about what's going on, with someone outside their work, family, and friendships.

Sometimes life can feel out-of-control, confusing and painful. Perhaps you struggle with a sense of helplessness, or that your usual ways of coping don't work anymore. Perhaps you feel anxious or depressed. Maybe you have feelings that don't make sense or come out of nowhere. Or you might have always felt like an 'outsider', or that you find social interactions challenging or confusing. Maybe you just want to make a change to your life, but don't know where to start.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
