About me
Who I Am
My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Lawrence, and I am a Counsellor and Counselling Supervisor. I provide professional, empathetic support to help you navigate challenges, gain understanding, develop strategies, and move forward positively.
I specialise in counselling for neurodiversity (ASD, ADHD, ADD, and Dyslexia) for both children and adults. My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic methods to tailor support to your individual needs. I work with adults, young adults, and children in a safe, confidential setting.
What I Do & How It Can Help
I offer effective therapy in a wide variety of areas, including:
- Mental health challenges - depression, stress, anxiety
- Relationships & family difficulties - relationship issues, bereavement, social anxieties
- Work & academic stress - support for teachers, students with exam stress, school/university-related anxiety
- Life transitions - career changes, adjusting to a recent diagnosis of ASD or ADHD and dyslexia
- Special interests - Nutrition, weight management, eating disorders, disordered eating patterns
With a background in teaching, I have extensive experience supporting students and educators, helping teens manage exam stress and anxiety while also working with mature students adjusting to new career paths.
I provide counselling for individuals, couples, and groups in a confidential and non-judgmental environment in Chelmsford. Whether you - re facing an immediate crisis - such as a relationship breakdown or bereavement - or struggling with long-term feelings of anxiety, low mood, or a recent diagnosis, I am here to help.
