About me
Relationships
I support individuals and couples whose relationships are struggling. Couples frequently experience issues with communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, families or finances. In therapy, I can help you understand where things have gone wrong, how to rebalance the relationship and how to avoid these pitfalls in the future.
Transitions
Life is full of transitions and change. However these moments are often accompanied by stress, anxiety, low self esteem and uncertainty. They can challenge our identity and make us feel lost and confused. At times like this we are challenged to look inside and reflect on what is causing us so much unhappiness.
“The real struggle of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes“ Proust.
Issues relating to pregnancy and parenthood
Miscarriage, infertility problems, birth trauma and the challenges of being a new parent can cause a huge amount of distress, grief and anxiety. I have worked with many clients who are experiencing these issues, supporting them in facing difficult situations and processing the experiences they have had.
Whatever you're struggling with, I will help you explore the issues you're facing and see things more clearly. Together we will work out how you’ve got here and find strategies to cope and work out a way forward. Ultimately I hope to enable you to accept the person you are and find a more peaceful way of being.
A client's recently commented:
'I cannot recommend Liz highly enough. I feel completely at ease during my sessions and was completely comfortable from the start. I can say that from working on myself with Liz I am starting to see the benefits as are those around me. After only a few weeks of sessions I completely trust her and look forward to speaking with her each week. It's changing my life for the better. '
For me, counselling is a vocation not a job and I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. I hope I can make a difference in yours.
Training, qualifications & experience
My name is Liz and I am an experienced psychotherapist and an accredited member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have a postgraduate diploma in therapeutic counselling and a certificate in couples counselling. I work integratively which means that I draw on a variety of approaches in my counselling practice. I work with clients who have problems with relationships, identity, transitions, issues related to pregancy and parenthood.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
