About me
Perhaps you've reached a point where something doesn't feel quite right, but you're not sure what needs to change. At Root & Bloom Therapy UK, I offer a warm, safe, and non-judgemental space where you can slow down, make sense of what's happening, and begin to understand yourself with greater compassion. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. Counselling can be a space to pause, make sense of what you're experiencing, and gently explore what you need to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to who you want to become.
Root & Bloom Therapy UK offers a safe, compassionate online space through the UK, and in person in the several locations in the Southside of Glasgow, to feel heard, and manage challenging emotions.
We can support you with:
- Anxiety, stress, overwhelm
- Confidence, self-esteem
- Relationships and boundaries
- Life changes
- Processing challenging experiences
- Reconnecting with yourself.
Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, uncertain, or simply too much. Therapy offers a safe, compassionate space to pause, reflect, and be heard - without judgement. Together, we can explore what's beneath the surface, develop greater self-understanding, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
Online Therapy throughout the UK, and In-Person Support in Glasgow's South Side.
I'm Elizabeth, a BACP-registered counsellor and founder of Root & Bloom Therapy UK. I offer online therapy to adults across the UK, as well as in-person counselling for clients based in Glasgow's South Side.
Before training as a counsellor, I spent over twenty years working as a registered nurse - a career that shaped how I understand people: not as problems to be solved, but as whole individuals navigating difficult moments in their lives. That understanding continues to guide the way I work today.
Therapy, to me, is a bit like tending a garden. With the right conditions - patience, care, and the right kind of attention - people are able to root themselves again and bloom into who they're meant to be. That's the belief this practice is built on.
Outside of my practice, I find a lot of meaning in creativity and in time spent with my family - both remind me why this work matters, and why listening, really listening, can help someone find their way back to themselves.
If this feels like the right fit, I'd be glad to hear from you - get in touch to book an initial session, or reach out with any questions first via our contact us form.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have an interest in Christian counselling, rooted in my own faith and in my belief that spirituality can be an important part of a person's wellbeing. For many people, faith shapes how they understand suffering, forgiveness, identity and hope. When someone is struggling with anxiety, grief, trauma or a major life transition, their beliefs can be a real source of strength. They can also be a source of confusion, guilt or doubt. I want to offer a space where both can be explored openly, without judgement. This will be client lead.
My training is integrative, drawing on person-centred, CBT, existential and psychodynamic approaches, and I see Christian counselling as a natural complement to this. I would never impose my beliefs on a client. Instead, I want to meet people where they are, whether they wish to bring prayer, scripture or questions of faith into the work, or simply want to know that their beliefs will be respected and understood.
My twenty years as an NHS nurse taught me to care for the whole person: body, mind and spirit. Working with grief, trauma, burnout, identity crisis and survivors of abuse, I have seen how often people ask deeper questions about meaning, worth and whether healing is possible. Those questions matter, and I believe they deserve to be heard.
As an MBACP-registered counsellor, I work ethically and professionally, and I am committed to ongoing development in this area. I would value the chance to support clients whose faith is central to their lives, helping them find self-awareness, resilience and meaningful, lasting change.

Additional information
I am particularly interested in supporting counselling students and key workers including those in Christian service. I appreciate the time and financial implications personal therapy can have, so I offer a reduced rate of £45 for those eligible.
Coming from a family of key workers, and previously being a key worker, I have often found our identity can get lost in what we do, and our self-care, passions, and sense of fun can be at the bottom of our agenda. I'd love to work with you if this resonates.

Further information
Not every challenge needs weeks of therapy to untangle. Single session therapy offers a focused, compassionate space to work through a specific worry, decision, or moment of overwhelm - in just one appointment, with no obligation to continue.
Available online or in person, single session therapy suits adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, or a particular life transition who want clarity and support now, rather than committing to ongoing sessions.
How It Works
In one dedicated session (90 minutes), we'll explore what's bringing you to therapy, gently unpack what's beneath the surface, and work together towards a way forward that feels manageable and right for you - no judgement, no pressure.
It's a flexible option if you're:
- Facing a specific issue or decision
- Curious about therapy but not ready for ongoing sessions
- Wanting support between longer-term counselling
- Short on time but needing to be heard
Getting Started
Unsure if a single session is the right fit? Start with a free 15-minute introductory call to talk it through, with pricing set for 90 minutes at £70.
This year Root & Bloom Therapy is supporting Make-A-Wish UK to offer counselling support to parents, carers and family members who walk alongside children facing critical illness in the UK.
When a family is going through something so heavy, the adults holding everything together often have nowhere to set it down.
Their grief, exhaustion and fear matter too, and they deserve a space of their own.
I'm humbled to be trusted with this work. It reflects what matters to us at Root and Bloom Therapy UK: meeting adults in some of the hardest moments of their lives with warmth, compassion and no judgement.
If you're carrying something heavy right now, my door is open.
