Elizabeth Blaise

I am a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist/counsellor, clinical supervisor and EMDR therapist based in Gospel Oak, Hampstead and also working from Harley Street and Kings Cross. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma/PTSD, loss of meaning in life.  I have specific experience and interest in working with dreams in therapy, to assist inner transformation and foster creativity.   I offer a safe confidential and warm, relational space and work in an integrative way, meaning that I draw on a range of therapeutic models. These might include psychodynamic exploring early life or looking to the past for the roots of your current life challenges ; humanistic helping you to access the inner resources already within you so that you can better deal with and resolve the issue you face ; CBT cognitive behavioural therapy - examining your core beliefs about yourself and the world and modifying these where necessary ; existential and Jungian exploring meaning - of life in general, as well as the meaning of specific issues that you bring to the psychotherapy and counselling sessions .  I offer EMDR therapy and draw on the most recent trauma treatment models. I work with creative imagination techniques e.g drawing, visualisations if this is something that feels helpful for you and I have particular expertise in working with dreams. I often incorporate embodied mindfulness into therapy sessions. By becoming "mindfully" aware of your thoughts, feelings and body sensations, you can learn how to ‘catch’ and manage your moment-to-moment experience, before becoming overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings or caught up in repetitive behaviours.   How we work together always depends on the outcomes you want from the therapy or counselling sessions and what feels most beneficial and useful for you.
