Liz White

Hello and a very warm welcome.

My name is Liz, I am a qualified Person Centered and CBT therapist working with adults, children, and young people. 

My Counselling Practice is situated in the village of Tottington on the outskirts of Bury.  I provide a warm empathic and professional service in a safe and compassionate space tailored to your individual needs. Here you can expect to talk through your feelings, thoughts, and concerns in a non-judgemental environment where we will work together at your own pace.

I believe that being listened too and understood with empathy and acceptance can be the start of a deep healing process that will provide you with calmness and a real sense of relief and clarity.

I believe each client's experience is unique to them so an initial consultation will help to establish what will happen in your counselling sessions and any queries you may have.

It is time to take the first step towards living a more contented, balanced, and healthier life you deserve.

The issues you are experiencing are important to me and if I cannot help, I will do my very best to signpost you to a service that can.

• £50.00 per 60 minute session 
• Free initial telephone session 

I can accept cash or bank transfer as payment 

I offer Monday  from 11.00 - 8pm, Tuesday evening, Wednesday afternoon from 4pm-8pm, Friday from 9 am - 8pm and Saturday and Sunday daytime and  evening .

Caring, Kind and Welcoming

My daughter came to see Liz as she was feeling very overwhelmed and her panic attacks had returned. Liz made her (& myself) feel at home straight away and I saw a weight lifted from my daughter’s shoulders after her sessions with Liz. A lovely environment and I know my daughter found Liz very easy to open up to, I can’t thank her enough.Show less

Life changing

I started therapy sessions with Liz after suffering from anxiety, depression and work related stress. I was referred to Liz by an organisation through work and was given 6 therapy sessions but I continued to see Liz after these and paid as they were invaluable to me. It has been around 6 months since I began to see Liz and she has completely changed my life. She helped me find the courage to leave an unhappy relationship and taught me ways of managing my anxiety as well as how to manage my work/life balance. I used to think therapy would not work for me but talking to Liz feels like talking to a friend I’ve known for years and I have always felt very calm and relaxed in our sessions. I am in a much better place to when we first met, I feel like a totally different person and Liz has played a huge part in that.Show less

I saw Liz for about 18 months and she really help me empty my mind and stop carrying around the things I shouldn’t be carrying. Liz has helped me heal and make peace with events out of my control. I have now been able to set certain boundaries and manage the behaviour of others better.Show less

I appreciated the safe non-judgmental space for me to express my jumbled up thoughts which I knew was jeopardising my self esteem. I felt heard, supported and safe. A huge thankyou for helping me change my perspective on my past life of repetitive passive and negative memories to reducing them so that they now no longer disrupt my present life.Show less

Liz is brilliant. She is very calm and kind. She creates an environment where you can relax and feel supported and not judged. Talking through everything and using tools to support you in your week was instrumental in getting to where I needed to get to. I can’t recommend Liz enough and know how much she has been a huge part of me resolving issues and getting to where I needed to be.Show less

Supportive and transformative
 
27th August 2025
I had sessions with Liz for just over a year and in that time I built so much confidence and resilience in managing my anxiety disorder and confronting some of the challenges that life brings. I developed a deeper awareness and understanding of my own mental health, and Liz helped me to work through some difficult past experiences. As a lifelong ‘people pleaser’ I’m now much more comfortable identifying how/why I feel a certain way and articulating that to others in a way that feels both safe and authentic to me.

Overall, Liz is a fantastic counsellor, a great listener and a lovely, warm person who goes the extra mile to create a safe, positive and supportive environment for sessions. I’m so grateful for the genuine impact our counselling journey has had on my wellbeing and confidence. I would highly recommend Liz to others. Thank you so much!Show less

Liz makes you feel comfortable from the first minute you arrive and you feel supported immediately. She takes the time to understand you as a person and applies logical ideas and solutions to any issues you might have. I’d highly recommend Liz to anyone.

A Year of Growth Thanks to Liz

19th August 2025
I came to Liz a year ago at one of the lowest points in my life after a really tough breakup, and I honestly feel like a different person now. I was so nervous starting therapy and unsure what to expect, but Liz instantly made me feel safe and comfortable. She never judged me and helped me see things about myself that I couldn’t before. Liz gave me the tools and support I needed to rebuild my confidence and move forward. I’m so grateful for her kindness, patience, and guidance, I don’t think I’d be where I am today without her. I would recommend Liz to anyone who feels nervous about starting therapy or who needs support to get through a difficult time, she truly makes such a difference.Show less

Fantastic Service
 
16th August 2025
Liz was exceptionally helpful at supporting me with some challenging issues relating to anxiety and self-esteem. We addressed why I felt this way during sessions over the period of several months and adapted methods to mitigate this. I’m already at a stage where I feel like I can handle these issues on an independent basis and can address them more rationally. I believe I would not be able to do this without the ongoing support of Liz and highly recommend her to anybody who may be seeking counselling sessions in the future.Show less

I attended counselling sessions with Liz for eight months. I was really nervous about attending and not sure if counselling was for me but from the very first session Liz put me at ease. She helped me come to terms with the many traumatic periods I have had to deal with in my life and I now feel able to move forward and look forward to a much happier future. In short my counselling sessions with Liz have changed my life and for that I am truly grateful and would one hundred per cent recommend her sessions. Show

Life-Changing Counselling

23rd March 2025

I cannot thank Liz enough for the support and guidance she has given me during the darkest time of my life. Facing multiple illnesses at once left me feeling lost and overwhelmed, consumed by dangerous thoughts I never thought I’d escape. But Liz was a light in that darkness. With kindness, patience, and unwavering support, she helped me find clarity and hope when I couldn’t see it myself. Her compassion and wisdom have truly been life-changing, and I will always be grateful for the strength she has helped me regain. If you’re struggling, I cannot recommend Liz enough—she is truly exceptional.Show less

A lifeline for our family

20th March 2025

We found Liz as our son was struggling with ADHD, autism and low self esteem. He had a lot of problems at school and would often experience suicidal thoughts. It was difficult to find a counsellor for a young person, but we feel so lucky to have found Liz. She is so kind and compassionate and patient with our son. She provides a space space for our son to just be himself, without judgement or fear, where he can feel listened to and appreciated. Liz is very good at finding different methods of reaching him emotionally, sometimes with the help of Giz, the therapy cat, or sometimes just with sitting with my son and playing wind chimes or sensory toys – anything really to help create that calm and peaceful environment.Show less

Amazing, amazing, amazing

19th March 2025

I first met Liz when I taught with her, what an amazing lady she is! So when my daughter was struggling with her self-esteem and confidence following her transition to high school it was Liz we turned to. After worrying she would feel embarrassed Liz immediately made my 12 year old feel at ease. After the first hour I returned to find her laughing, smiling and nice and warm wrapped in a fluffy blanket on the couch in Liz’s beautiful garden room and what a difference Liz made to our lives. She found Liz to be kind, caring, compassionate and very good at listening. Liz worked with her to identify her problems and helped her solve them, giving her strategies to deal with these and a new found confidence.

If you are looking for a warm, caring, calm environment to help you through a difficult period my family cannot recommend Liz highly enough.

Thank you Liz for everything you did for us.

Supportive and non judgemental

10th March 2025

I saw Liz for 2 months at a time in my life when I was at a crossroads and I sure what to do next. Liz allowed me to talk about my feelings and situation in a non judgemental environment (which was very important to me) and this meant I could finally resolve some issues from the past and finally move forward.

Six months later I am thriving and happy, the sessions I had with Liz are a huge part of that. I cannot recommend highly enough!Show less

Liz has helped me through the most traumatic period of my life.

When I started my journey with Liz I could not see a way forward and was deeply traumatised.

Liz guided me through this period and not only healed past traumas but she also gave me life skills on how to cope when facing new challenges.

I would recommend Liz without any reservations.

More helpful than I ever could have hoped.
 
3rd March 2025
I saw Liz for close to 2.5 years, throughout that time I saw Liz once a week, the support and understanding offered by Liz was more then I ever could have asked for. She helped me more than I could ever believe. Having that one person to talk to who was impartial and didn’t judge at all was amazing. Liz helped get me through some tough times and I could never thank her enough.

I am the senior mental health lead at a secondary school. We are very lucky to have Liz as our school counsellor. She has supported many of our young people through some of their most difficult and challenging times.

Liz shows great warmth, compassion and creates an environment which allows students to feel safe. Liz builds trusting therapeutic relationships with every child that she works with and offers a real holistic approach the work that she undertakes with each and every young person.

I am a great believer in listening to the voice of each child to gain a true insight of their views. Each of the many young people that Liz has supported, have given me excellent feedback about Liz and the support that she offers. They look forward to their sessions and see a genuine improvement in how they are feeling and managing every day.

If you are considering counselling as an option, I would highly recommend booking a session with Liz. I have seen first-hand, the impact that she can make in helping you feel better.

Empathetic
 
21st February 2025
Before attending counselling sessions my son was in a terrible place emotionally. He felt comfortable expressing his feelings to Liz. She was a great listener, non-judgmental and supportive. She understood his needs and helped him to regulate his emotions. He has become more confident and happy within himself.

Thank you Liz. I would highly recommend you.

Liz really put my son at ease and supported him. It was clear she tailored the. Support to match his age and needs and did this to get the best possible outcome within sessions. The environment the sessions are completed in is relaxing, calming and a safe space. Liz continued to encourage my son and would always follow up the next session and ask how a certain event was. Amazing service and would really recommend.
