Elizabeth Millar

Hello, welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile!

I am a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and also deliver therapy through the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM).  I offer a fully collaborative service, designed to fit with whatever it is you wish to change, cope with or attend to.  I work integratively with other therapeutic modalities and I may also use some Mindfulness within sessions.  However, I will work together with you in a way that you find effective and beneficial. 

Therapeutic Counselling

I can offer you a pleasant environment in which you can share as little or as much as you wish.  Making that first step to enter counselling or psychotherapy is a scary one but I can assure a friendly welcome and an understanding of your anxiety, whether you decide to continue or not.   Please feel free to contact me in the first instance, either by phone or email, to have a chat about the process or what you would like to achieve through counselling.

Everyone at some point in their life may find things have become difficult or challenging, which affects the way we think, feel or behave on a day to day basis.  We don't always know where or who to turn to in these situations and sometimes we get a little stuck.  You may already know you have a mental health condition or maybe you would just like to change an area of your life that's causing you some amount of worry or stress.  Either way, together with a therapist, in a friendly, confidential and non-judging environment, you can explore these issues and how they're affecting you and find a way to deal with them, make changes and gain a healthier, more emotionally balanced lifestyle. 

My Experience

My working life for the past 21 years has been within the voluntary sector and I developed an interest in counselling 10 years ago.  This interest has lead me to train and qualify as a counsellor and then to further my training in CBT and groupwork.  I have also trained in the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), developed by Lisa Schwarz, M.Ed., specifically for working with severe trauma related conditions, such as Complex PTSD and Dissociative Disorders.  Trauma related problems are an interest of mine and I am constantly upgrading my knowledge and research in this area.

My Ethics

I work according to the ethical guidelines of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive  Psychotherapies (BABCP).
