Working through life's challenges together...

Hello, and welcome,

My name is Elizabeth, and I am an experienced integrative psychotherapist, supervisor, and group facilitator. I work in partnership with Relational Counselling Ltd, a practice dedicated to empowering individuals and couples looking for the right therapist.

As a qualified Integrative Counsellor and psychotherapist, my approach to therapy is Relational. I believe building a good relationship is the critical ingredient for good therapy outcomes. I will always work with you from a genuine and warm place and at a pace that suits you.

I pride myself on offering a personalised and tailored approach to therapy that puts your needs first. I'm here to support you and help you achieve your goals in a way that feels comfortable and right for you.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. That's why my initial consultation is like a chemistry meeting. You can ask questions and gain a sense of how I work to determine if working together is right for you.

Cost-effective individual therapy

If you are new to therapy or seeking a more cost-effective method for individual therapy, you could try a one-to-one 30-minute appointment to gain more clarity or have shorter appointments. These appointments serve as either an introduction to therapy or merely aim to help you enter therapy with a cost-effective option, so you can access the support you need.

Self-management portal

When you feel ready to start, we have a self-management booking portal on the website for your convenience. It's simple to use: register and select a time/date. If you are not 'tech savvy', don't worry; I am happy to schedule for you.

The user-friendly self-booking system allows you to access and book without even making a phone call. Free SMS and email reminders are included for your convenience.

Availability

Weekdays between 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

If you're interested in scheduling a consultation, please visit www.relationalcounselling.co.uk or call 0800 001 6919.

About me and my therapy practice

I facilitate both long-term (psychotherapy) and short-term therapy (counselling) for individuals and couples. Before your initial consultation, I conduct a thorough assessment to gain an overview of who you are, learn a bit about your past, and understand your goal from therapy.

Individuals are initially offered a consultation, followed by six sessions during which we schedule a review. At this point, you can continue the work longer or have a planned ending. My open-door policy means you are always welcome to return when we close our work together.

The early relationships you form significantly impact how you relate to yourself and others, often without you realising it. Some of these patterns are helpful, while others can be harmful. Addressing deep-rooted reasons that impact your life today in therapy can help you better understand yourself and learn to manage life's challenges. By gaining insight from your past, you can improve your relationship with yourself, which I believe is the most important relationship you will ever have.

With couples, I use a model I developed myself based on research carried out by trusted professionals within the field and my research working with couples.

I am experienced in supporting couples with various issues, such as communication, conflict, infidelity, domestic abuse, and more.

An Overview of Counselling and Psychotherapy

The process is generally more goal-focused when working short-term (counselling), and for longer-term therapy (psychotherapy), it is more in-depth. The process examines the root causes of an individual's presenting issues by exploring the unconscious drivers learnt from past experiences and relationships.

Practice description

Therapy is always personalised to meet your individual needs. I incorporate theoretical approaches, techniques, and tools from various schools and traditions, including psychodynamic, existential, humanistic, and transpersonal.

I will always support you in accessing your own inner wisdom and finding a way forward so that your life feels balanced. I will not give advice, try to fix you, or tell you what to do; you are your own expert.

My first session

During your first session, we will spend some time getting to know each other for you to assess me and for me to understand your needs as part of your assessment.

Your assessment form, GDPR (General Data Protection Policy) and working agreement are sent digitally for you to complete before our initial meeting. This will free up space in your session. It is equally important that you have a clear understanding of how your information is stored and shared and the limits to confidentiality as part of best practice.

In the forms, you will be asked to provide some basic details, which are merely routine practice. I am always happy to discuss and answer any questions to ensure you feel comfortable in therapy.

Couples: All appointments will be for 60 minutes.

Individuals: Your first session will be 50 minutes, and you can choose to continue weekly for 30 or 50-minute sessions.

If you would like additional time for your sessions, this is negotiable.
