Hi there. Well done on getting to this point - I remember how overwhelming it can be when you’re looking for a therapist. How are you supposed to choose? I’m Lizzy (she / her) and I’m a queer humanistic therapist from Brighton. I have extensive experience in working with clients from across the LGBTQIA+ and relationship diversity spectrum (poly / ENM), as well as neurodivergent clients. I help my clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, family issues and many more. Humanistic means that I believe that you are the expert in your own experience, not me. I will never diagnose you, or tell you what to do, nor will I give you advice or homework - we’ll work together to explore what you want and need from therapy. You might have a specific issue you want to work on. You might be going through a difficult time in your life and need some support. You might simply want to learn and explore more about yourself. All of these are welcome in my therapy room. I work from an existential perspective which means that together we’ll look at your life and ask the big questions: Who are you? What do you want out of your life? How can we achieve those things together? As a queer person, I work from an LGBTQIA+ affirmative position and have particular experience of working with LGBTQIA+ identifying clients. I am always working towards making my practice as anti-oppressive, anti-racist, anti-ableist and inclusive as I can. We live in tough, uncertain times but there’s always the potential for joy, healing and growth, however small.
