Meet your Therapist

I have been a family therapist and mental health professional for over 30 years, working across the United Kingdom and Africa, in the NHS, Local Authority, Voluntary and Religious settings.


I provide safe, confidential, empathic, and non-judgmental support to help people with various challenges, which hinder them from achieving results in their family, relationships, wellbeing, and personal development. Through talking and positive engagement, I help individuals, couples and families reconnect with lost skills, develop broken relationships and new perspectives that help them improve their wellbeing and potential to achieve their life goals.

If you are distressed or unhappy, suffering from anxiety, a broken marriage or relationship, or just longing for a space to be heard, you need not struggle or suffer in silence; I will love to help you!


I am an experienced and compassionate therapist, providing psychological support, and working with a wide range of clients from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Through a trusting relationship, I can help you navigate life challenges, uncover your unique story, and achieve yours and your family’s goals.

My commitment to you

I can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing, help you understand why you act or react to them the way you do, and see how you can start to make better, healthier choices moving forward.


I provide a free non-committal initial telephone conversation of 10-15 minutes to establish your need and for you to ask any question to help you decide how we move forward.


When we decide to go ahead we would work together on short term or longer-term basis depending on your needs. Your session would last for up to an hour, weekly or fortnightly.

Confidentiality

As a systemic therapist, I am bound by the confidentiality of my profession in regards to clients. I will breach your confidence if you say something that implies danger to yourself or others. I will be transparent and inform you when this has to be done.

Availability

I aim to be as flexible as possible to meet the needs of my clients. I am available for sessions on weekdays and in the evenings. We can discuss your requirements when we arrange your first appointment.

Cancellation Policy

I will attempt to reschedule a cancelled appointment if you are unable to attend your booked appointment. I operate a 48-hour cancellation policy, or the full fee will be incurred, as I have allocated this time to you.

Testimonials

"The support I received from Liz was invaluable. Her compassion, approachability, and thoughtfulness made a significant difference in my master's journey. I deeply appreciate her ability to listen and understand my unique challenges during our meetings, while also providing honest, practical, and encouraging feedback.


Liz consistently challenged me to think critically and approach problems from multiple perspectives, which was crucial in navigating the complexities of my course. She has a well-rounded approach, and her systemic expertise was a constant source of insight, motivating me to maintain curiosity, reflexivity and keep going. I always leave the session with a plan and a smile on my face as she has a witty sense of humour. I am thankful for the mentorship she provided."


Philipa, a Mentee

"Hi Liz,

Thank you so much for everything. I'm so very grateful for our time together.


I arrived at the first session depressed, with what felt like an in-built sense of low self-esteem and anxiety. Liz’s approach was warm and open, she spent time helping me reflect on my past and present situations and also my thoughts in order get to the root of the cause. As the months went on Liz helped me to rebuild myself esteem, identity and confidence one piece at a time. Small seeds in the form of new ways of thinking, bible passages and new behaviours would be gently dropped into our conversations which allowed me to embrace and understand who I was.


I now know that the patterns of thought that used to lead me into darkness and take over my life are just thoughts. Liz has taught me how to recognise and overcome them. 


Liz, thank you. You've given me so much and helped me become the person I am today."


Olivia

"Having one to one supervision with Liz is supporting me to build my couple and relationship therapy practice. I appreciate Liz's questions and curiosity around the wider contexts surrounding couples such as their cultural backgrounds, the history and geography of their families of origin and how these factors influence and play out within their relationships.

Liz is helping me to feel more comfortable with raising and discussing issues relating to diversity with couples. In our supervision sessions, I feel encouraged to develop, trust and value my own style and approach to couples work whilst also exploring both the impact of the work on me and of my personal background on my work. Naturally, this is benefiting my individual client practice as well."
