Hi, I’m Lizzy, and I am a HCPC registered art psychotherapist who has worked with individuals, groups, and families for over six years. I trained at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh and have subsequently gained experience in a variety of different specialist areas including: children and families, complex trauma and PTSD, and issues with identity and self-esteem.
I have completed training to be an EMDR therapist on 2023 and am currently working towards accreditation. I have also been completing training to be a clinical trauma professional
I am queer, non-binary, spoonie, neurodivergent therapist experienced in working with different relationship styles and members of the LGBTQIA+ community as well as their partners and families.
I aim to work with clients towards better well-being and recovery through identifying issues, working with underlying emotional presentations, processing past experiences, and supporting my clients to feel empowered to make change.
In therapy, I offer a chance to reflect on the difficulties or problems you are experiencing in a safe and confidential environment, with someone from outside your day-to-day life. Together we can explore your situation in a way that can lead to fresh perspectives and a new understanding of yourself. Therapy isn’t about giving you solutions or advice, but empowering you to make your own changes.
As lived experience therapist, I’m proud to say that over the years I’ve spent a lot of time as the client in therapy myself, and feel that this has been as equally important in shaping my therapy practice as all the training and books I’ve read.
I work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds, coming to me with a diverse range of problems. I provide personalised psychotherapy for peoples of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, and relationship styles. I am a non binary psychotherpaist with a LGBTQIA+ and kink affirmative stance .
As a fully-qualified art psychotherapist and EMDR therapist, I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and, am a member of the both the British Association of Art Therapists and the EMDR UK Association. To ensure that my practice is safe and effective, I adhere to their code and guidance of conduct and code of ethics, and attend regular supervision.
Art Therapy is a legally prorected title and so to practice as an art therapist in the UK, the therapist requires a certain level of training, experience, and to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My HCPC registration Number is AS15955.

I do not offer a crisis support or emergency service. In such situations, if you are living in the UK, I would recommend that you contact your GP during clinic hours; attend your local Accident & Emergency department; or dial 999 in an emergency.
