Working With Me

Hello, I'm Liz, a qualified integrative counsellor with a warm, non-judgmental approach to helping individuals navigate life's challenges.

Initial Consultation

Before embarking on your counselling journey, I offer a 30-minute initial assessment for £25. This consultation provides an opportunity for us to discuss your current situation, explore your counselling needs, and determine if we are a good therapeutic fit. It's a chance for you to ask questions, express any concerns, and get a sense of how I work. Together, we'll decide if working together is the right step forward for you.

Integrative Counselling

Integrative counselling is an approach that combines different therapeutic techniques and theories to create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. This means that I draw upon various tools and strategies from different counselling approaches to help you navigate your challenges and work towards your goals. By integrating these techniques, I can provide a more comprehensive and effective counselling experience that addresses your specific concerns and resonates with your individual preferences.

Neurodivergent Counselling

As a neurodivergent individual myself, I offer a neurodivergent-affirming approach to counselling. I understand that being neurodivergent means experiencing the world in a unique way, and I strive to create a counselling space that celebrates and validates your individual perspective. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered as you navigate the challenges of living in a world that may not always accommodate or appreciate your differences. Together, we'll work on developing strategies and tools that align with your specific needs and help you thrive as your authentic self.

Online Counselling

I offer online counselling sessions via secure video platforms, providing a convenient and accessible way to engage in therapy from the comfort of your own space. Online counselling allows for flexibility in scheduling and eliminates the need for travel, making it easier for you to prioritise your mental health and well-being. I ensure that our online sessions are conducted through encrypted, GDPR-compliant platforms to maintain your privacy and confidentiality.

Telephone Counselling

Telephone counselling is another option I provide for those who prefer to engage in therapy via phone. This format offers a sense of anonymity and can be particularly helpful for individuals who feel more comfortable discussing their concerns without face-to-face interaction. Telephone sessions are conducted at a pre-arranged time, and I ensure that our conversations take place in a private, confidential setting.

Text-Based Counselling

For some individuals, expressing themselves through writing can be a powerful therapeutic tool. I offer text-based counselling, which allows you to engage in therapy through secure messaging platforms. This format provides you with the opportunity to reflect on your thoughts and feelings, compose your messages at your own pace, and communicate with me asynchronously. Text-based counselling can be particularly beneficial for those who prefer to process their experiences through writing or find it challenging to articulate their thoughts verbally.

I understand that reaching out for help can be a vulnerable and emotional experience. I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your goals. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey towards greater self-understanding, healing, and personal growth.

Get in touch

If you have any questions about my services, fees, or availability, or if you would like to schedule an initial assessment, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am here to support you and provide the information you need to make an informed decision about your counselling journey.


You can also call me on +44 7983 794343 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.

I am based in Deal which means my practice is accessible from Dover, Walmer, Sandwich, St. Margaret's at Cliffe, Wingham, Canterbury, Ramsgate and the surrounding areas. However, as I work mostly online, I can work with you from anywhere in the UK.

All enquires are usually answered within 48 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
