Lizzie Legate

A warm welcome to my Profile page. 

I am committed to providing a compassionate, supportive, therapeutic counselling environment to all my clients – a confidential, safe space, where together we can explore emotions, anxieties, and life’s challenges.

Accessing support can be a daunting experience. There will be no expectation of you – you will be met without judgement, accepted for you, just as you are.

I have a fundamental belief that by offering my clients the right conditions, a place to be heard, accepted, and respected, our sessions together can achieve healing, empowerment, and change.

I am a qualified counsellor and a Registered Member of the BACP. 

I offer face-to-face support from my counselling room in the centre of Eastbourne, East Sussex. I am also happy to provide online or telephone counselling support, if preferred. 

I have experience of working with adults, children and young people.

Counselling can help with a variety of problems such as:

• Stress & Anxiety
• Depression
• Bereavement & loss
• Anger
• Trauma
• Isolation 
• Low self-esteem
• Relationship problems
  

In addition to my professional qualification, I have completed extensive bereavement training with the national charity, Cruse.

I have also completed training in Creative Therapy for Children with children’s mental health charity, Place2Be.

I have worked as a child and young person’s counsellor at The Seahorse Project at St Wilfrid’s Hospice, a team dedicated to providing therapeutic support to bereaved children between the ages of 6-18 years old.

In accordance with ethical practice, I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. I also hold professional liability insurance and receive regular counselling supervision.
