Elizabeth's way of working

Elizabeth aims is to provide a warm, supportive and empathetic space for clients to explore what is important to them. Her training is in Gestalt Therapy, which is a type of counselling/psychotherapy which offers a rich exploration of the client's experience in the here and now, and through the relationship with the therapist. Elizabeth is passionate about mental wellbeing and helping others to reach their potential. She works collaboratively with each individual to help them feel heard and accepted with whatever they wish to bring to the therapy sessions.
