Liz is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can talk about whatever may be bothering you. Liz's approach is integrative, which means that she draws on different therapeutic disciplines believing that there is not just one way to help in all situations. The therapeutic relationship is central because it is in a trusting relationship that healing and change can happen most effectively. Liz may draw on mindfulness, neuroscience and use creativity if this feels helpful to you. She is adept at working in a solution focused way for short term work, or in a deeper and more explorative way for longer term work.

Mark is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He trained with a degree from the University of Gloucester in an integrative person-centred therapy approach.
Integrative person-centred counselling is based in support for the individual on their own unique journey of self-exploration and development. It is centred in a therapeutic healing relationship. Acknowledging that much of our difficulty and trauma arises in the context of important relationships, such as family and early life, and is best worked upon in a trusting relational context such as can develop in counselling and therapy.
He has also trained in mindfulness and meditation in a Buddhist context and has over thirty years of professional experience teaching mindfulness and meditation to people. He brings awareness from these disciplines in to his work as a counsellor. Mark has also trained in Focusing, an approach which helps us to contact our own truer self by listening to direct our own internal voice and our direct bodily experience.
Mark can be contacted by email or by phone on 07934 487175.
