Why chose psychotherapy or counselling?

- 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 to both in-person therapy sessions and to online psychotherapy and counselling.
Before booking an initial session, you are welcome to contact me to arrange a free, brief (15 minute) introductory call to find out how therapy can help.

Testimonials
“Your help has been brilliant. . . I've learnt so much about myself through the dream work we did.”
"Thank you for all your care and support over the past three years and helping me heal from depression. I'm pleased that I found a counsellor in Hampstead so I could go for nature walks on Hampstead Heath afterwards."
"The EMDR sessions have substantially reduced my anxiety."
"Intelligent guidance and support. … highly recommended."
"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.”
