As an experienced counsellor I use a variety of evidence-based techniques to provide personalized care to each of our clients. Over the 24 years that Lizzy has worked as a therapist she has continued to train to support clients with the problems they bring to therapy. The approach Lizzy has adopted is based in client centered therapy, emotional focussed therapy (EFT), as well as known psychology practices. Over the years it has become evident that many clients benefit from learning about their condition which helps them to identify their triggers. Adopting healthy coping mechanisms can help clients to start to manage their condition and introducing practices such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques helps clients to overcome negative thought patterns and behaviours. I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, addressing both the mind and body.

Anger Management
Anger Management for individuals who struggle to mange strong emotional feelings which lead to angry outbursts and rage. Typically people with anger issues tend to suppress their anger but then it becomes out of contol and erupts. Individuals often feel shame and embarassment afterwards.. Therapy can help to identify triggers and learn skills to manage anger differently.
Trauma Counselling
If you've experienced trauma, it's important to seek help from a qualified therapist. I am trained to help you work through the trauma and develop healthy coping strategies. Hope Therapy offers a variety of trauma-focused therapies and psychoeducation to meet your unique needs.
Addiction Counselling

Hope Therapy is here to help you overcome addiction and develop a healthy, fulfilling life in recovery. We offer a variety of evidence-based treatments for addiction. Post treatment therapy is also available, to help you stay clean and continue to develop into your best self.
Disordered Eating
Counselling for individuals who strugggle with eating behaviours that become obsessive and start to take over your life. Nutrition is important but many people prioritise slimness or being the thinnest leading to depression, mental health issues and ill health.
Others may struggle with over eating and there is often an underlying cause as well as the habitual reaching for food for comfort.
Recently the newer phenomenon of injecting GLP-1 such as Wegovy and Ozempic do help individuals lose weight rapidly. However the issues which may have led to over eating or comfort eating may still cause distress and emotional pain. Therapy can help to address these problems .
Relationship Counselling
Relationships are an important part of our lives, but they can also be challenging. I endeavour to help you and your partner improve communication, build intimacy and strengthen your relationship and understand the cycles that lead to arguments, upset and anger. Emotionally Focussed Therapy is used to help couples understand and reframe their relationship leading to develop a more harmonious relationship.
Adoption Support
Adoption therapy can help to understand the experience some adoptees undergo as adults. At times adoptees growing up may have demonstarted behavioural and emotional problems . At times the cause of the behaviour is not recognised and percieved as bad behaviour. The individual may not themselves recognise the trauma they experience at birth. This is known as a preverbal trauma.. Babies and older children who are separated from their birth mother can experience attachment issues. The separation from the birth mother can cause individuals to experience loss, grief, lack of trust, an inability to develop intimate relationships and they may experience feelings of guilt, shame and rejection.. They often experience rejection and loss profoundly painful and feel severe abandonment. Attachment therapy can help you to grieve your past and understand your story which leads to forming more solid loving relationships in the future.
Empowering You to Find Stability and Achieve Happiness
Individual Counselling
Individual counselling is designed to help you overcome personal challenges and achieve your goals. Hope Therapy provides a confidential, discrete, supportive in a non-judgemental environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insights into your behavior, and develop strategies for positive change.
Couples Counselling
Couples counseling can help you and your partner or family member improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger relationship. Whether you are facing challenges related to intimacy, trust, differences of opinion and the many other issues that arise when living with another person. A relationship therapist can help you work through the triggers that lead to the arguments and stand-offs that recur within a relationsip. Understanding each other as well as the nature of your relationship can pave the way to a more harmonious connection and achieve greater satisfaction in your relationship.
Supervision
Clinical supervison for student, trainees and qualified therapists and counsellors. APT trained in the Seven Eyed Model. Good supervison helps to support learning and develop competency related to clinical work. This helps to engage in reflective, relational communication in an increasingly effective way whether that be in our home or work life.
Teen and Adolescent Counselling
Adolescent counselling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioural issues such as self harm.. Therapy uses evidence-based techniques to help adolescents and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.
Walk and Talk Therapy
I was Trained by the Princess Alice Trust to accompany individuals on walk and talk therapy. Walking in nature often feels safe and less intense than face to face therapy . Benefitting from the fresh air and movement adds to a sense of well being . Sensory experiences such as bird song, the smell of slowers or freshly cut grass are a positive addition to the therapeutic journey and can lead to deeper realisations of your current situation.
