My name is Elizabeth and I work with adult individuals and couples. Sometimes we feel lost and struggle to cope with life’s difficulties. Taking the first step to contact a therapist can feel really difficult and so I’d like you to know that our therapeutic 'space' is safe and non-judgemental.

Hello. Clients come to me in a state of distress or confusion about their relationships or the direction their life has taken. You may have experienced the loss of a loved one or of identity, you may have been betrayed, or feel regret. You may be a concerned parent, or a worried child. You want to feel safe, to feel understood, and to believe there will be help, that things will be different. Ideally, you come in knowing that there is something within yourself that you would like to change. First you need to tell a story, to vent anger, anxiety, grief or fear. Then you want to be heard, and you will be.

I began my own therapeutic journey over 20 years ago, my personal life experiences led me on to the path of becoming a therapist. I work with ages 16 through to adults. My ethos is to support you throughout your personal journey, providing a safe and confidential space. One client whom I worked with for 2 years shared with me on our final session that she felt I was... "The scaffolding that held her up while she fixed herself" My hope is that my clients will feel 'Held' within the therapeutic space.

Are you looking for a safe and supportive space to explore difficult feelings, relationships, or experiences? We all encounter difficulties at some points in our lives: problems with relationships, anxiety or depression, sexual concerns, low self-esteem, addiction to alcohol or drugs, bereavement, trauma or feelings of anger, grief or panic. As a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor, I offer a non-judgemental, confidential space in which to explore the conflicts and issues that bring you to therapy and to start to address the underlying patterns that may prevent you from moving forward in your life.

Have you been entertaining the idea of therapy for some time, or is this an impulse search? Have you asked yourself questions such as: “Why me?”, “Who am I?”, “How did I get here?”, “Is this the rest of my life?”, "Is this really happening to me", "Why does this always happen to me?", “How do I get where I want to be?” Have you or others have labelled yourself as "down", "depressed", "anxious" or "stressed"? Are you worried about feeling a certain way, or not living the life you were meant to live? Do you carry on your shoulders more than you bargained for and feel you can't share with anyone? I am here for you.

We can sometimes feel stuck or overwhelmed in our lives, so by working collaboratively supporting my clients through helping explore feelings, setting goals and developing coping strategies to manage difficulties. I fully understand taking the first step can feel daunting, which is why it’s important to find the right therapist, as building trust is central to the counselling relationship. I strongly believe given the right support, through learning ways to overcome old beliefs and behaviours, we have a capacity to find our own answers and so develop a sense of self-direction which leads us to more enhanced fulfilment in our lives.
