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. I have experience of working with many issues, such as anxiety, depression, relationships, bereavement, historical trauma and self esteem. Within the therapy we find a way together that will help you to make sense of, feel listened to and have a better understanding of yourself, which allows you to have the choice to change.

Further information
I understand and have experience of working with trauma, how this impacts on our lives and the effect this has on those who work and/or care for someone who is traumatised.
I belong to a professional body (UKCP) that understands the need for safety when we feel vulnerable and ensures that I have met and will continue to meet a high standard of requirements in order to continue to practice which includes, continued professional and personal development and supervision.
