Why chose psychotherapy or counselling?
You may be seeking therapy to help with:
- anxiety, depression or burnout
- feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
- relationship problems or low self worth
- compulsive behaviours
- trauma, PTSD or uresolved grief

What’s the Difference Between Counselling and Psychotherapy?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but here are some distinctions:
- Counselling tends to be short-term and solution-focused and helps you manage current difficulties more effectively.
- Psychotherapy is often longer-term and open ended and addresses more complex or deep-rooted issues.
What to expect in a therapy session
At the heart of the therapy is our relationship. We'll sit and talk - openly, confidentially and at a pace that works for you. Research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in a positive, successful outcome from therapy. I place great importance on this, making sure that you feel comfortable with the way we work together. This applies both to online psychotherapy and counselling and to in-person therapy sessions.
You can contact me to arrange a free, brief (15 minute) introductory call to find out how therapy can help or to book an initial session.

“He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God. Justice inclines her scales so that wisdom comes at the price of suffering.” ~ Aeschylus (The Orestia)
“Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know” ~ Pema Chodron

Testimonials
“Your help has been invaluable. I now have practical tools to manage my anxiety and I've learnt so much about myself through the dream work we did.”
"Thank you for all your care and support over the past two years and helping me to deal with my depression and low mood. I'm pleased that I found a counsellor in Hampstead so I could go for nature walks on Hampstead Heath after my sessions."
"The techniques have helped me manage my anxiety and my tendency to overthink things. The EMDR was good."
"I am very happy to recommend Elizabeth. I didn’t expect to get so much out of the sessions because I’d had had some therapy before for depression and anxiety that wasn’t really helpful. Elizabeth is very warm and supportive. We looked at all the different ways I avoided dealing with my feelings. I feel more positive about myself and life in general.”
