My Experience

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and an accredited member of the NCPS. I approach my clients as individuals, there is no one-size-fits-all therapy when it comes to people, their identities, relationships and emotions. The reasons my clients come to counselling are very varied and often there is more to the story than what is on the surface. I have worked with feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, stress, anger, fear and trauma responses to name a few, but ultimately I work with people's emotional responses to their life. I hear a lot of clients say that they want to change something about themself, but what I witness is people stepping into themselves to become who they already are.

 
LGBTQIA+ Counselling

My Background

As a queer, trans+/non-binary person, I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I'm well versed in gender, relationship and sexuality diversity, which serves me well for all clients no matter their identity. I follow an anti-oppressive approach that creates an open and welcoming space where my clients are free to bring their whole self to our sessions; particularly the parts that stay hidden due to mistreatment, discrimination and oppression.

 

Chat with me

I offer a free 20 minute conversation, online or on the phone, for you to see if I am the right counsellor for you.

What my clients say about me…

  • I’d had therapy before and I was initially hesitant as I come with specific trans identity issues that not all therapists could help with. From the moment I started working with Lizzie, my reservations dissipated. Lizzie has proven to be an exceptional therapist, they demonstrate an unparalleled level of empathy, understanding, and skill with jovial care. They never overstep my trauma boundary beyond where I feel comfortable.

  • The impact of counselling with Lizzie extends far beyond our sessions and I believe most could benefit from a little Lizzie in their lives.

  • From day one, Lizzie has made me feel completely comfortable. I have always felt supported through any problems I have had (eg. Gender, sexuality, untraditional relationships, adhd, self confidence issues). The biggest impact they have made on my life is, bringing my confidence back up to where it should be and teaching me to trust in myself and my decisions.

  • Counselling has been a really important space for me to be able to process the things I’m going though and make sense of everything going on in my head. Lizzie creates a space that allows me to openly talk through all my thought processes and big identity questions, while also adding new and honestly invaluable perspectives and insights that I would never have considered myself. I always come out of a session feeling lighter and with a new sense of direction.
