Hi, my name is Liz, and my pronouns are she/her. I am a UKCP Accredited Psychotherapist and a Registered member of the BACP.

My training included a wide variety of approaches, with a special focus on existential psychotherapy, and more recently trauma therapy. Existential therapy is an approach which considers how we live, how we relate to one another and what it means to be human, all of which are often a source of anxiety. I will gently help you explore your experience, difficulties and feelings, a process which can help you to better understand yourself, to make meaning of your experience, and to find ways in which to live better. Whilst our past is important, it need not determine how we live now and in the future. Exploring and understanding our past can help us make choices as to how to live now.

My experience includes working with anxiety, depression, family trauma, work-related stress, difficulties arising from neurodiversity, issues of identity, feelings of self-hate, compulsive behaviours, grief, loss, bereavement, relationship breakdown, abuse, and suicidal thoughts.

Often, clients feel that they are, in some way, at odds with the world, and feel troubled by this. Existential therapy often feels intuitive as an approach when this is the case. My hope is that through the work we do together that you will come to accept and like yourself.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I had a long corporate consulting career in a professional services firm, including experience of working in the City of London. I understand well the stresses and challenges of a corporate life, and am well equipped to help you consider how you manage these.

In addition to my core Masters level training in Psychotherapy, I have completed a Level 6 Certificate in Trauma Therapy and am trained to Level 1 and Level 2 in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as Tapping. The latter is an approach that combines talking therapy with a body based approach, and which helps to shift from understanding and insight, to change and healing.
