Elizabeth Young

Welcome. You may find yourself here because your world has been turned upside down and you’re experiencing a crisis. Or perhaps you’re still discovering who you are and feel lost or misunderstood.

You may be seeking healthier ways to cope with stress, manage overwhelming emotions, and build resilience while gently challenging unhelpful self-beliefs. It could be that you’re looking to improve communication, navigate conflict, or strengthen your relationships.

Whatever has brought you here, just by being here, you’re already taking a powerful first step - the decision to give yourself the sacred gift of time and space. I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental setting where we can work together to explore the issues impacting your wellbeing and quality of life. I truly believe that somewhere within you lies the insight, strength, and wisdom to meet whatever life brings.

My role is to walk alongside you, to help make meaning of your experiences, support you through challenges, and nurture your personal growth. Together, we will work towards you living in a way that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

While I always offer warmth, safety, and acceptance, I also believe in being honest and real with my clients. At times, this means gently holding up a mirror, offering reflections that may be challenging - but always in a way that is grounded in empathy and respect. I believe meaningful change often begins with discomfort, and I’m here to support you through that process with care and compassion.

I work integratively, drawing from a variety of theories and frameworks to tailor therapy to your unique needs. I believe in working in the here and now and being guided by you - what you bring to the session, and what feels most important to you. We’ll go at your pace, and I’ll meet you wherever you are.

I offer a free 20-minute introductory call or online session, with no expectation or pressure to continue. This is simply a space for us to meet, talk through what has brought you to counselling, and see whether we might be a good fit. You’re welcome to ask any questions and explore how we could work together.
