Hi I'm Liz. I am dedicated to providing a warm, accepting space where clients feel comfortable to explore their inner difficulties, relationship dynamics and past traumas. I admire the bravery it takes to attend therapy, and aim to uphold this respect when working together. A guiding principle in my work is to help clients build compassion for themselves, discover their own autonomy to face challenges and recognise their capacity to heal.

From my own lived experience and from what I have witnessed in my practice, I strongly believe that psychotherapy has the power to make profound and positive impacts on people at all stages of their life. To achieve this I provide safe and judgement-free space to ensure that people feel heard, understood and accepted and I am always conscious to adapt my therapeutic approach based on a person’s specific needs and goals.
