Making the decision to see a psychologist or meet a new psychologist may feel daunting. It takes courage to seek support. Initially, Elizabeth will listen and gently explore your presenting concerns before collaborating with you to develop goals and a plan to address these. Elizabeth works individually  with clients from the age of 18. She works with clients who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that have led to the development of current emotional issues.

​

Therapy can help clients to understand the root cause of symptoms such as excessive worry, self-critical thoughts and feeling discontent with life. It can also provide a safe space to build the skills and confidence to assert your own needs in relationships. Elizabeth strives to develop a shared, deep understanding of your unique experience. While short-term therapy approaches are available, Elizabeth primarily uses a Psychodynamic Therapy approach which involves in depth exploration of symptom origin and ways of relating to others. This longer-term approach aims to allow clients a deeper understanding of their inner emotional worlds in order to connect to their authentic selves and develop new ways of connecting to others.
