Elizabeth Williamson

Thank you for finding me.

For a while now my days have been different shades of grey, some days have been black.  The colour seems to have disappeared overnight. I’ve been feeling lost. I used to be confident, funny, full of energy, sociable, and I used to like trying new things. Now, everything feels scary. I feel anxious, sad, lonely and I don’t have the energy to do the things I want to do.  Every day feels like a struggle at the moment but it’s been going on for a long time now.

Does this sound like you? I used to feel like this. I know you might feel alone at the moment but you’re not, I’ve got you. I understand and I can help you.

The good news is I can help you start to feel confident again, then you will feel happier, more sociable and start to enjoy the other things you’ve missed about yourself. I can also guarantee you will start to feel better and the things you thought were impossible you will start to feel can actually become possible. Impossible = I’m possible. Maybe you thought today isn’t going to be the day. Well, it is! You took the first step! I know that wasn’t easy and maybe even a bit uncomfortable but you did it! Today you decided to read my profile because you’re starting to be honest about what you want.  My guess is you want to feel good again. The next step is to make contact. If you think I’m the right person to help you, please feel free to get in touch.  Drop me a message, email, voice note or voicemail.  You’ve taken the first step. Take your time. It’s important to find someone you feel aligned with. Today you may be just looking, in a few days, weeks or months you may want to take the next step. Do what feels right for you. Be proud of what you’ve achieved today! In the meantime, if you have any questions or would like more information please feel free to drop me a message I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What is Counselling?  Counselling is a safe space where you can shut out all the white noise that is life and be silent or be listened to.  It’s a safe space where you can let go of everyone else’s opinions on who you are or should be and listen to yourself.  This will help you remember and start to recognise yourself again.  Counselling can help you realise your potential, remember your goals or dreams that you thought no longer existed.  I can’t tell you what counselling will be for you - that is something you will have to decide for yourself.  What I can tell you is, I can help you figure out your next steps.

You don't have to do it alone.  I work flexible days and times online (via Teams) and by telephone to make it easy for clients to access counselling. I also have a few face to face appointments. You decide how often you want to attend. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly or as and when you want to attend. I welcome any questions you may have.

The cost of a one hour session is £48

I work flexible hours, which means you don’t have to commit to the same day/time. You can work the sessions around your availability. 

Testimonials:

"The counselling I received from Elizabeth was very helpful to get my mind and feelings straight, the support helped me hugely overcome my worries and concerns and build my confidence."

"I wanted to thank you for how understanding and completely unbiased you were towards me or any subject that was discussed.  The way that you allowed me the space and time to find the root of my problems and ultimately figure out a way to get through them really helped in a way that money can’t buy.”

“When I came to you I wasn’t in the best place and it was the hardest period of my life.  Through a handful of sessions, I was able to come to terms with some major issues that were affecting my everyday life.  Now, 2 months since our last session I’m in a much better place and really seeing the positive in life.”

"The sessions I had with Liz were very rewarding, I improved so much in a short period of time then she helped me onto the correct path and the correct way of thinking I am now much more positive and dealing with my situation much better. I can highly recommend Liz." (Jan 2017)

"As a therapist working in the field of complementary medicine, I recently decided to attend supervision sessions. Working alone as a therapist although rewarding, can sometimes feel quite isolating. Feeling supported in the workplace is important to good health and can help to prevent issues building which can contribute to ill health. Liz conducts her supervision sessions in a way that is unique to the therapist. This careful approach has allowed me to explore all kinds of work related issues. If you work in the field of therapy, whether it be alone or as part of a multi disciplinary team, I would highly recommend attending supervision with Liz as I feel she is non judgemental and highly skilled therapist. She has a very special way of enabling you to see situations from many perspectives. This has been particularly useful for me, in that it has helped me draw on the positive aspects of my practice and work towards changing things that may have been acting as a barrier. Having regular supervision, means you will be investing in your own health in order to continue to make a difference to those you work with." (March 2017)

"Liz immediately put me at ease when I contacted her for some sessions. She is very warm and engaging. During my sessions, I felt like I was in a safe haven with somebody that really listened and did not judge.  Liz could be flexible with appointments too which helped. When I felt that I had got what I needed from seeing Liz, I was under no pressure to continue seeing her. I felt that within a few sessions things were so much clearer for me - and I haven't needed to return. Though I know that if I need to, I would not see anybody else." (February 2018)

I was a little skeptical at having Counselling at first, but I am so glad I did it.  I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get the thoughts from out my head into words out of my mouth.  How wrong could I be. Once I started it just all flowed. Talking to Liz was so easy.  I never once felt judged or had opinions forced onto me. I began to understand more about me and what I needed, Liz gave me an alternative way of looking at things.  The little tasks set have made a massive difference.  Now I am able to be more open to the people around me, I have gained confidence in myself and feel more like the old me again.
