PSYCHOTHERAPIST IN CHORLTON SOUTH MANCHESTER & ONLINE
Welcome to Therapy with Liz
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life.
Psychotherapy for those times when professional help is needed to work through past issues, present circumstances, or feeling just not quite right
Online or in South Manchester
I have been in private practice as a therapist for 12 years in Chorlton, South Manchester and Online, and I offer both short-term (6-8 sessions) and open-ended therapy for individuals.
I am able to offer psychotherapy funded by insurance companies as well as privately. Insurance companies I work with include:
The therapy I offer is primarily Online. I also offer some in-person sessions at Counselling Rooms in Chorlton on Monday evenings.
Approach & Experience
The main models of therapy underpinning my work as a psychotherapist are Transactional Analysis and Relational Psychotherapy.
Transactional analysis looks at how we become who we are, and how we grow and change during the course of life. Relational Psychotherapy is an approach which believes in the centrality of the therapeutic relationship as the significant agent for change and successful therapy.
Please visit my Therapy Approach Page for a more detailed explanation of the theoretical models which underpin my work as a therapist and, as well as more detailed information about my qualifications and experience.
Issues I Can Help With
I have experience of helping people explore and work through more general concerns to do with a sense of discomfort, ' just not feeling right', and a sense of recurring life patterns or themes. Here are a few of the more common issues:
- Anxiety and Stress
- Depression and low mood, including sadness, unhappiness and problems with motivation
- Bereavement and Loss of a person or something important
- Specialist Psychological Support for Migraine (fears, and anxieties and difficulty coping)
- Relationship Issues or Difficulties
- Sexuality and Other Identity Issues
- Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem Difficulties
- Workplace Stress and other difficulties
Therapy can be short-term (lasting a few weeks), for several months, or it can last for a number of years when there is a long-term commitment to personal growth and development. There is no right or wrong length for therapy to last, but rather the duration of therapy is unique to you.
Decisions about how long you come to therapy for can be made at the beginning of the therapy or can be worked out as the therapy proceeds.
How Psychotherapy Can Help
People come to therapy for many reasons, and seek different kinds of help.
Some people decide to work with a therapist when they are struggling to resolve past issues. Others want to focus on present-centred issues and circumstances. There are no right or wrong reasons to seek therapy. All kinds of difficulty can be worked through.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any queries or questions about beginning therapy, or how psychotherapy may be able to help you.
