Elisabeth Neijens

I like to think of therapy as a way of helping a person to help themselves. It is an individual experience and will be different for each person.

Therapy offers a confidential space where thoughtful attention is given to the often painful, challenging and confusing experiences of our lives. It helps you gain a deeper understanding of what you have been experiencing and supports you so that growth and change is able to take place, if necessary. My style of working is supportive and collaborative and the process is unique to each person depending on their reasons for coming to therapy and what their needs are.

My approach is trauma-informed and rests against a psychodynamic background, which provides the therapy a certain breadth as well as depth. I take into account a person’s position in life today, in relation to their emotional, developmental and relational characteristics both past and current, whilst not forgetting about their future. It is an exploratory way of working during which clients often come to new ways of thinking about themselves as changes start to take place within them. 

Therapy can be useful in many ways, whether:

· facing a painful situation or challenging phase in life

· improving emotional and overall mental health

· changing recurring and/or persistent patterns of thought and behaviour

· facing relationship challenges (with oneself and/or others)

· understanding complex family dynamics

· a need to talk to someone independent of your daily life

The outcome of a helpful therapy tends to be a feeling of greater ease in oneself, reduced restlessness, healthier relationships, increased self-awareness, improved mental health, a better engagement with yourself and life in general, and improvements in the way we respond to life’s problems.

If you have reached a point where you feel isolated with your experience or realise you could use outside support, seeing a therapist can help.

Training, qualifications & experience

In addition to my main psychotherapy qualification, I have also taken part in trainings for CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), MBT (mentalization-based therapy), grief and loss, as well as trauma-informed approaches. I have clinical experience in both private practice and NHS settings, and prior to my career as a therapist, I volunteered for Cruse, a bereavement charity. I am registered with professional bodies BACP and BPC and my training is accredited by UKCP, BACP and BPC. Alongside my clinical training, related studies include a master’s degree, a post-graduate diploma and a foundation certificate. I attend trainings, workshops and conferences annually to continue learning as well as follow developments in my field.
