Liz Bidnell Psychotherapist and Counsellor UKCP reg
About me
I am a UKCP accredited Integrative Psychotherapist and Therapeutic Counsellor. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with issues that are having a negative impact on their lives and well-being.
The process of therapy is to facilitate change and support us through our own development and self awareness. It is an opportunity to be listened to and to be heard in a way that helps us make sense of our feelings, thoughts and behaviours and allows us to choose a more helpful way of being.
