Therapy isn’t just techniques, it’s two people in a room. The way we talk, the pauses we leave, what gets said out loud and what we notice underneath. The rhythm we find together shapes the work. When that lands, change has space to show up. This is a taste of how I meet people in the room.
Who you sit with matters.

I’m LIZ
I’m a relational therapist in the UK. I care about conversations that quiet the noise and make life feel a touch more liveable. For me, change begins and ends in relationship, the one you have with yourself, and the ones you build with others.
My way of working is humanistic and relational. The pace is calm and considered. We pay attention to the patterns that keep repeating, what lies underneath them, and what might ease the weight of an ordinary week.
I work integratively because no single approach holds every answer. I draw from person-centred and Gestalt ideas, Attachment and Object-relational thinking, and Trauma- and Shame-aware practice, with some parts work when it helps. Always shaped around you, not a formula.
Therapy isn’t a straight line. Some moments shift quickly, others take time. Change can land, loosen, return, or reshape itself. What matters is that we notice together, in real time, in real conversation with space for the mess, the quiet, and the unexpected turns. That’s the lane I keep: warm welcome, deep work, and the possibility of finding a lighter way to carry things.
OH HEY
In My world: nothing is truly f*cked. Life is messy, and the only thing in the way is the noise.

My Story
Who are you?
I’m an autumn. Green cheers me up. Mountains fascinate me, though I’m happy admiring them from below. I love to eat, I like to read, and Hallmark films make me cry. I think Beyoncé might be the closest thing we have to god, and I’m convinced the sea keeps secrets if you listen long enough. A yellow-sticker find and an M&S picky-bits tea sometimes feel like therapy, says the therapist.
In therapy, those quirks don’t matter much but your reaction to them might. The way we connect, the moments you lean in or pull back, even what stirs in you when you read about me, that’s where the work starts.
We’ll track it together: what your body does under pressure, the strategies that kept you safe, the parts of you that want different things. You don’t have to tidy any of it up. You just get to bring it, and see what shifts when it’s met differently.
My Story
education
SHERWOOD INSTITUTE OF TRAINING PSYCHOTHERAPISTS
At Sherwood, training wasn’t just about learning theories, it was about learning in relationship. Teaching was lived, not just taught: presence before polish, contact before content, nervous system before narrative.
A specialist three-year programme at an experiential college, it shaped the human as much as the therapist. We did our own work so we could sit with yours.
The approach is integrative, grounded in Person-centred and Gestalt ideas, Object-relational and Attachment-based thinking, and trauma-aware, nervous-system perspectives — all held together by the simple truth that the relationship is what makes therapy work.
Most of all, Sherwood taught me the discipline of being: noticing the escape routes, steadying the body, and staying with the first feeling long enough for it to shift. The culture was clear, kind, unhurried and that’s how I practice too.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF COUNSELLING PSYCHOTHERAPISTS
I trained on a BACP-accredited programme and I’m a BACP member. I work to the BACP Ethical Framework, regular supervision, insurance, clear privacy and ongoing CPD so sessions stay steady, boundaried and transparent, with quiet accountability and an independent route via BACP if we ever need further support.
