About me
Hi, I’m Lizzie, an Integrative Counsellor.
You might be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure how to make space for yourself amidst the demands of everyday life. Perhaps you’re used to putting others first, masking how much you’re carrying, or feeling misunderstood in your experiences. Counselling can offer a place to slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and feel supported in finding a way forward that feels right for you.
I retrained as a counsellor because I care deeply about accessible, inclusive support that adapts to real lives — not the other way around. I feel privileged to hear people’s stories and to walk alongside my clients as they explore their experiences at their own pace. I aim to offer a safe, comfortable, and non-judgemental space where you can be yourself.
Alongside working with a wide range of adults and young people, I have particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients and parent carers, informed by both lived and professional experience. This has shaped my understanding of how important it is for counselling to feel flexible, attuned, and tailored to each individual.
How we will work together
My work is grounded in a Person-Centred approach, with the therapeutic relationship at the heart of our work. I believe each client’s experience is unique, and I work collaboratively to create a warm, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences safely.
I work at a pace that feels right for you and aim to support self-understanding, self-compassion, and empowerment. I also enjoy working creatively where helpful, and may offer options such as visuals, drawing, or objects of reference to support self-exploration — always guided by what feels comfortable for you.
Who I work with
I offer a calm, nurturing space for adults, teenagers, and young people aged 11+.
Clients come to me for many reasons, including:
- stress, anxiety, or low mood
- burnout or emotional exhaustion
- caring responsibilities
- identity exploration
- feeling different, misunderstood, or overwhelmed
- wanting space to focus on their own wellbeing
You don’t need to be in crisis to come to counselling — sometimes it’s simply about having a space that’s yours.
Areas of experience and specialism
Carers & Parent Carers
Caring for a loved one can be deeply meaningful, but also isolating and exhausting. Many carers experience stress, burnout, anxiety, or a loss of identity alongside their caring role. Counselling offers a space that’s just for you — to prioritise your wellbeing, reconnect with yourself, and explore compassionate boundaries and coping strategies while continuing to care for others.
Neurodivergent clients
I have lived and professional experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, including autistic and ADHD clients, as well as those exploring or awaiting diagnosis. You may be seeking support around identity, burnout, relationships, or understanding yourself more fully.
I aim to make counselling as accessible as possible and can consider sensory needs, communication styles, session structure, and transitions. My hope is to offer a space where you feel accepted, unjudged, and able to explore things in your own way.
Young people (11+)
I also work with young people aged 11 and over and have experience supporting those who are neurodivergent or exploring a diagnosis. I offer a supportive, age-appropriate space where young people can explore their thoughts and feelings safely.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with a Level 4 CPCAB Qualification in Counselling.
In my training I worked in a secondary school specialising in supporting neurodivergent students navigating a mainstream environment. This experience enhanced my passion to make counselling accessible and tailored to a clients unique experience.
My approach as a counsellor is shaped not only by my training, but also by personal experience supporting neurodivergent individuals in my personal life. This has deepened my empathy and commitment to offering a supportive and adaptable therapeutic space.
I am committed to my personal development and regularly attend training in my specialist areas to enhance my practice.
Member organisations
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
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
