About me

 Hi I’m Liz, and I offer a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a tranquil, supportive setting.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, lost, or simply need someone to talk to, I provide a calm and compassionate environment where you can feel seen, heard, and secure. Many people describe me as warm, kind, and someone they can truly trust, qualities I bring into every session.

I bring experience working with children, young people, and adults, supporting each person in a way that respects their individual needs and stage of life. I value connection and take time to build a trusting relationship, so you can share at your own pace and feel secure in your journey

I offer a flexible approach to suit your needs, including face-to-face sessions, online counselling, telephone support, and walk and talk therapy in natural surroundings. 

I am a qualified integrative counsellor who can offer person-centred, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) . I am qualified to perform IARTT Rewind Trauma Therapy .

If you're ready to begin your journey or simply want to find out more, please feel free to get in touch.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
