Elizabeth Pentz

I am available daytimes, evenings and weekends.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my page.

I specialise in bereavement, grief and loss.

I am a qualified, person centred, therapeutic counsellor.  

My experience encompasses all aspects of bereavement, and includes extensive work in a voluntary capacity for Cruse Bereavement Support. I understand the extensive, complex and often traumatic nature of grief, and that it may involve many complicated and difficult feelings. Many varied and difficult issues and emotions may arise during this time. My aim is to support, listen to and truly hear clients, and to "walk with the client on their journey" (Carl Rogers). I offer empathy, and a non- judgemental presence for clients, through 60 minute sessions, over a period of weeks, or as the client prefers.

Person centred therapy does not seek to focus on one particular area of a clients' experience, or provide advice or solutions, as it recognises that the individuals' experience is completely unique. What might work for one person may not work for another. Therefore the approach is designed to provide an environment of support in which the client feels empowered to, if they wish, explore and develop their own inner resources and healthy coping strategies. I am however, also trained in mindfulness and relaxation, and occasionally these skills provide a useful toolkit to have available for clients to use if they wish.

I am a Registered Member of the BACP.

I look forward to speaking with you.
