About Me


About

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've tried a few types of therapy and this has been the most helpful support I've had. Lizzy helps me feel calm and I've gained so many insights. I'm been able to be kinder to myself and found new ways to cope with my anxieties."

Mark- 1 to 1 support

“Lizzy has been having therapy sessions with our daughter for issues related to severe anxiety. The sessions are friendly and well structured; often fun but always revealing, leaving us with suggestions and ideas that percolate long after the session. Lizzy is a phenomenal listener that encourages you to re-appraise how you see yourself and the world. We now have a toolbox of techniques to use as a family and an understanding of triggers that cause anxiety and panic attacks. I have no hesitation in highly recommending their services.”

Fiona - family support

“Getting Lizzy to help me was the best decision I've ever made. I don't know how I would be able to move forward without their help. I'd probably have given up. They lifted me up and pointed me in the right direction.”

Phoebe - young person support
