Elizabeth Lisac

I have a broad experience working both within the NHS and in a private setting . My focus is  to be  alongside my clients in both a supportive and growthful way to explore what has brought them to seek counselling at this point . Sometimes it can take a lot of courage to make the first steps towards seeking help. It may be you are experiencing loss and feeling alone or unsupported or you wish to look at relationship issues or the impact on you of other life events. I believe  we all have the capacity to grow and change but sometimes we can feel stuck and at a loss as two how to move forward. 

I have experience working with loss, depression, anxiety bereavement , IVF, miscarriage, cancer, and other relationship and work difficulties.  I have worked extensively with adults and young people in NHS/GP surgeries, in a university setting and in Private Practice.

I  have been a tutor on a counselling degree programme and  on a certificate training course.I also offer supervision for counsellors.

I am registered as a counsellor/psychotherapist with major health insurers

I usually see people for either short term therapy or for open-ended counselling . My practise is in my home and I also work online.

Counselling sessions last for 50 minutes and are usually at the same time and day every week. 

The first session is usually 60 minutes long as we need to explore together what has brought you to counselling now and to gather important information that will help us work together should we decide to go ahead.  

I am a an Integrative therapist and supervisor and I supervise qualified counsellors and therapists and also trainees.

 My fundamental belief is that the relationship is crucial both in supervision and client work andI  draw on Integrative theory and the Seven Eyed Model CSTD supervisory model to inform the way I work. My aim is to offer support for your work and to provide the space for you to feel able to bring your self and your client work in an ethical and growthful way.

I  work as a supervisor in private practice and for organisations and  training programmes .

We would usually meet fortnightly for a 50 minute session or online for 50 minutes and during the pandemic I have worked online  although  I am now also working face to face again. 

In the initial session we will look at your hopes for supervisor and past experiences of supervision and  explore the nature of your r current client work before we decide to contract to work together. 

 It is really important that we explore how we might work together and your expectations so that we can decide if we would be able to work together.
