Therapy with Liz
PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND SUPERVISOR IN MANCHESTER
Therapy Approach
Using Transactional Analysis as a foundation, I provide a flexible approach to psychotherapy, with both short-term and long-term options available.
Therapy Approach
Transactional Analysis (TA) is the core theory underpinning my work. It offers a framework for understanding how we become who we are, how we grow and change throughout life. . TA explores patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour developed in early life, and how these influence our present relationships and experiences.
With its focus on human development and change, TA can be used effectively in psychotherapy and counselling to address difficulties in relationships or life situations, enhance self-understanding, and relieve symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
In addition, TA includes a relational depth perspective, which supports deeper emotional work when needed—particularly in areas of longstanding emotional pain, trauma, or identity development.
Experience & Professional Practice
I currently work in private practice offering psychotherapy to individuals online. Therapy can be open-ended - continuing for as long as needed - or arranged for a specific number of sessions. We'll discuss what best suits your needs during our initial meeting.
Issues I have worked with include:
Anxiety and Depression
Life Transitions
Gender and Sexuality Issues
Relationship Difficulties
Low Self-Esteem and Lack of Motivation
Loss - Including of a person or something significant
Neurodivergence and Invisible Difference
'Just not feeling right'
Dissatisfaction with life
