Life Coaching Counselling in Horsham

I have experience of working with men and women of all ages, including the elderly, to make sense of patterns of behaviour, influenced both from our past and current life situations. Connections between mind and body can result in anxieties and stresses linking to physical sensations, like panic attacks or headaches or behaviours like avoidance or intolerance or confusing emotions. Understanding the cause and our responses to overwhelming feelings and managing them safely is key to my approach. I offer you time and space to find out who you are and to be comfortable with your true self.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am a professionally qualified therapist, clinical supervisor and mindfulness practitioner, and have over 20 years’ experience. I am a warm, compassionate and experienced counsellor and therapist, who can create a safe and trusting space for you to talk in confidence about issues or problems that might be affecting you. Counselling can help with many difficult life problems - from coping with relationship issues or bereavement, to dealing with depression and/or anxiety. You may be trying to manage harmful emotional behaviours, struggling with a lack of confidence, or maybe just feeling stuck.

The focus will depend on client goals and needs, and can be past, present or future orientated. Some clients need an explorative approach, others wish to identify and build on strengths. I offer longer term work for deep exploration and self understanding, medium or short term structured work for current life stresses or crises. Clients may feel isolated with little or no support, or need a safe and private place to express difficult feelings, without feeling judged. Naming and verbalising thoughts and feelings can help to soothe anxieties. Reflecting on possible solutions or desired futures together can bring hope and direction.

Throughout life we all experience times of uncertainty, but now more than ever it might feel hard to navigate the challenges thrown at you in this uncertain world. Whatever your concerns, I can offer you a safe, respectful space in which to voice and explore difficult thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement. Whether you have a specific concern such as anxiety, depression, panic, grief, or relationship issues, or a more general feeling of dissatisfaction, discontentment or unease, you do not have to struggle alone. Talking with a counsellor can offer restorative insight & perspective and help bring about positive change.

Difficulties addressed in therapy can include anxiety, fear, depression, sadness, loneliness, stress, relational breakdowns or suicidal feelings. Therapy may be challenging at times but we can get to a point where staying stuck hurts more than risking growth.

Caring, compassionate and easy to talk to therapist to work with you to support you in exploring your difficulties and goals. I will provide a safe, confidential environment for you to talk through and work on any worries, issues or thoughts affecting you. The time we spend together will be responsive to and guided by you. I don't shy away from challenge in helping you explore and understand yourself, your thoughts and actions but do this always in a gentle, collaborative investigative way, helping you to challenge and understand yourself. Therapy will be directed towards your goals, aims and wishes.

I will be supporting you with no judgement, empathy and understanding in this journey where I walk beside you. The aim for me is to be able to help you understand your thoughts and feelings as well as support you to find your own meaning and answers.

Hi. I'm Dr. Liz Saunders and I'm a qualified doctor and a CBT therapist. I have experience in using CBT for many different types of problems and with people of all ages, however, many of my clients are young people who are struggling with anxiety or confidence issues at college, university or work or with difficult interpersonal relationships. I have a particular interest in helping young people to reach their full potential academically and professionally and in their lives more generally.
