Lizzy Pittock Therapy – Art, Trauma, and EMDR Therapist – Clinical Supervision Glasgow

About

Hello and welcome

Hi and thanks for visiting my website. I'm Lizzy and I'm a HCPC-registered Art Psychotherapist and an EMDR Therapist providing therapy to adults and young people in Glasgow and online.

My approach involves blending creative, body-based and talking therapy techniques tailored to fit each person's individual values, goals, and learning styles. I bring curiosity and empathy to each person to understand how their patterns make sense based on how they needed adapt to their past experiences.

Offering curiosity and choice

Therapy offers a space to explore and work through thoughts, feelings, challenges and patterns in your life that are difficult to manage alone. I offer a curious, relational and collaborative therapy approach with a touch of humour to identify and make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck, so that you can move beyond gaining insight to building the change you want in your life.

Although I work with people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of issues, many people come to me because of my training and experience of working with the impact of complex trauma, self-esteem, shame, sexual abuse, identity, dissociation, and, experience of supporting members of the LGBTQIA+, chronically ill, and neurodivergent communities.

My Values

I believe therapy should be relational, collaborative, and transformational. I aim to work alongside people in a collaborative way to help them feel empowered to move towards a better wellbeing and live the life they want.

People of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles are welcome in therapy with me. I am queer, non-binary, spoonie, neurodivergent, and lived experience therapist experienced in working with different relationship styles and members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as their partners and families. I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds with a diverse range of difficulties in a non-pathologising way.

A Problem Shared

Therapy takes place in a private space, where you meet with someone who will listen with empathy and without judgement. In the therapy space, thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely and in confidence. Talking about our issues can be challenging at times. Art therapy and EMDR offer creative and embodied ways to explore any difficulties.

A Explore Issues in Confidence

Therapy can help you gain greater insight into the difficulties you are facing; help you understand why you think, behave and react to them the way you do; and, help you to see how you to make choices that align with how you wish to move forward. Therapy is a dedicated, confidential, and protected time in your schedule to think about your emotional needs.

Making New Choices

Therapy can help build a set of tools to gain a better understanding of what’s causing the difficulties and empower people to move towards managing or resolving thee. Therapy may focus on building coping strategies and looking to understand and resolve the root cause to help empower people to move towards the life they would like.
