Thanks to Liz, I can finally see life in colour! Being in therapy isnt necessarily easy but with Liz you are not alone. She’s there every step of the way like your personal cheerleader. I’m finally starting to see myself like she see’s everyone – entirely whole.
I’m Liz, Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, Psychotherapist, Author, Hypnotherapist, Creator, Mum, businesswoman and a million other things. Welcome to my world, where you are, very, very welcome.
Let me take this opportunity to let you know – I get it. Seeking help and support can be such an overwhelming thing in itself. Please feel free to book a free, absolutely no obligation 30 minute chat with me, where i’ll be able to let you know if I can help or not, and how I can best do that. I am a therapist and not a sales person so you can expect absolutely no pressure and some free advice on your options at the very least!
I began my journey into therapy at the end of 2006. My kids were very young, when out of the blue and with no obvious warning, I began to suffer from anxiety. Severely. I struggled to get to sleep, then I would wake up every morning and immediately start worrying, about the kids, their health, the future and the day ahead and everything that included. My body felt tense and uncomfortable – I would endure migraines weekly and I even developed stomach issues from the constant stress. I dreaded being around too many people, was snappy with the kids, and kept myself at home as much as possible, all of that just making me feel even worse. I was stuck in my head. I had always been full of confidence, so it didn’t really make sense to feel this way. I decided I had to get help at the beginning of 2007, and visited my GP – lovely as she was, all she could offer was a bottle of tablets and to sign me off work for a while. I didn’t take either.
Instead I looked for a permanent solution that didn’t involve pills, or just learning to cope. I’m happy to say that 18 years later, I have learnt many different tools and techniques, qualified in many modalities, and still continue to develop my knowledge and professional development continuously. I am this year studying for a CMI level 7 (Masters Degree equivalent) coaching and leadership qualification.

I am so grateful that I found this path. Not only because I now know exactly what its like to come from feeling anxious, worried and frozen, I have been able to develop the tools and techniques that are used successfully for all things, like healing trauma, growing confidence, releasing anxiety and weight, increasing self esteem, transforming relationships and self awareness. Our minds, bodies and the perspectives held in them are the root of all we do, and it matters that we know how to heal, understand and master them. This opened up a life long fascination for me, as well as success, and a true love for life.
As a therapist and coach, I am always in supervision, and fully insured.
Full disclosure. I have now been doing this for more than 18 years – and I dont believe that one thing is the answer, which is why I offer and continue to develop in, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, coaching and mentoring – all work for various things, all make a huge difference to how you think and feel, but the most important thing, is always what suits you. I absolutely believe that we are entirely whole, even when we feel like we are not, that we are capable of far more than we believe, and that understanding ourselves is the key to everything we want in life. I dont believe in the current trendy promotion of “Be Kind” and, know that positive thinking by itself is ineffective – neither go anywhere near far enough to help with mental health.
If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am encouraging, completely judgement free, honest and rebellious. I have never, ever been one to follow the crowd and I never will be. I believe that every single person has value, exactly as they are, I believe a sense of humour is hugely important, and that taking full responsibility for your life gives the greatest happiness. I believe you CAN enjoy confidence, from trauma, anxiety, weight loss, any fears you may currently have and regardless of how you feel now, I believe you can (and must) create yourself, that you are not stuck with any habit or way of thinking that doesn’t serve you – you just have to be willing to improve it – and I’m here to help you do exactly that.
