Hi, my name is Liz. I’m a Transformative Counsellor..  I’ve worked as a counsellor since 2013 and started in private practice in 2015.  I’m based in Rossendale.  Working online enables me to work with clients all over the UK, including Manchester and London areas.  I also provide face to face sessions too.

I’m very passionate about my work and I feel privileged that my clients allow me to be a part of their journey whilst helping them through their personal struggles, which can be very difficult at times but also amazing as I watch them grow in confidence and make choices and decisions for themselves without the fear of being judged or getting it wrong.  Hearing them use words like “I’m proud of myself because …..” or “I’m pleased with myself because ……” or even “I wouldn’t have done that a month ago”. 

I mostly work with clients with anxiety, work related stress and relationship issues as I know the impact this can have on our day to day lives and I want to help people create a balance that feels right for them and help them start to put themselves before others, which I know most people find difficult.  I help clients to unlearn thoughts and behaviours that no longer serve them but are making life more difficult.  When we are children we are conditioned how to think and behave in order to protect us and survive in what is believed to be a cruel world but we forget that when we become adults and start to live our own lives we can change our beliefs and behaviours to suit who we are in our adult lives and we no longer have to keep living in survival mode.
