Hello I am Liz. I am an experienced member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP registered therapist and on the accredited register of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society NCPS.
I have taught in adult education for many years, then in special education needs as a communication assistant and in the child protection department in North somerset council. I am also a Makaton Regional Tutor and understand the importance of good communication and helping others being fully heard, also helping others to through their own journey learn to communicate effectively with others. I am a Children and Young Person’s Bereavement Counselling Specialist at a Hospice.
I offer a warm, empathetic, non-judgemental, confidential space where you can feel heard. We will work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you, exploring your thoughts and feelings, even if that is not clear to you what they are at this time. My aims are to help empower you with tools and insights that help support changes, helping you to move forward confidently towards your goals.
Together, we will unravel the threads of your life story and help you make sense of it in a way that is relevant and relatable to you. Using Transpersonal elements will invite us to explore the transcendent dimensions of your experience. This can be a transformative journey, helping you connect with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. By using different ranges of modalities I will meet your individual, personal and unique needs. We will work together to establish what you need.
I will use Empathy to understand and share the feelings of others in an accurate and compassionate way. I realize that each clients experience is subjective and to help them convey and understand by reflecting your experiences back to you. This encourages you to be more reflective of yourself. Helping you feel more confident giving you divulge in a safe space.
