As an integrative counsellor , I draw on a range of approaches to tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. I work collaboratively, creating a safe , non judgemental space where you can feel heard and understood. As a therapist , my role is to support you and facilitate your emotional growth - you are the expert in this relationship and I will be led by you and will work at your own pace. There is no rush in this relationship , trust takes time and patience and within this safe space you will become the person you deserve to be.

First sessions can feel difficult for both the therapist and the client, as we are just getting to know one another and building a sense of trust. Starting therapy can be challenging, especially when you’re asked to share personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone new.

I aim to put myself in your shoes—I would want to feel welcomed, safe, and treated with respect, empathy, and humility. I strive to offer that same environment to you.

You are in control of what you choose to share, and we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. This is a confidential and non-judgmental space where we can begin to explore what has brought you here.

We will work together to understand your experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy, and I will support you throughout that process.

I am available for you to contact me between the hours of 09:00-17:00, 6 days a week. I work daytime, and evenings and have some availability over the weekends. 

Hello – I’m Liz, I offer warm, safe, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions in a tranquil and supportive setting.

I work with children, young people, and adults, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit everyone. My practice combines person-centred, psychodynamic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques – allowing me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs, whether you’re looking to understand the past, navigate the present, or plan for the future.

Many people describe me as a warm and kind person who helps them feel safe, visible, and secure. I listen deeply and work at your pace, supporting you as you begin to reconnect with yourself and move forward in life.

I offer counselling in a way that suits you best – whether that’s face-to-face, online, over the phone, or through walk and talk sessions in natural surroundings. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel heard and supported, no matter what you’re facing.

If you’d like to take the next step or have any questions, I’d be happy to hear from you.

I have a small private counselling practice offering face to face, online, walk and talk and telephone sessions.

Face to face sessions are offered at a location based in Gayton, Wirral .There is on street parking but unfortunetly we do not offer a visitors waiting area.   

Regular reviews will be conducted throughout the therapy to ensure that we remain focussed on the outcomes that you wanting to achieve. 

The frequency of the sessions,  timing and type of therapy will be  dependant on your preferences.  

In some instances, I can arrange to meet with children and young adults in the education setting.  

I offer an initial telephone consultation of approximately 20 minutes free of charge. We will talk about why you think you need therapy, your expectations of therapy and what you hope to achieve. You can ask the questions that are important to you and I will do my best to answer them.

We will agree to a counselling contract. We will have it in writing so that we know what to expect of each other and the counselling process.

In our first session, I will ask you some questions. The questions help me to make sure that I have the right skills and expertise to work with you and support you and more importantly give you the opportunity to find out if I am the right fit for you.
