A super warm welcome to therapy with me

I’m Elizabeth Paterson, a qualified therapist, and I’m here to help you.

I offer unique talking therapy sessions focused on your requirements, whether it’s meeting me weekly, fortnightly, or flexibly as you decide. I’m based in Leeds and work online throughout the UK as well as many countries globally.

I do my best to accommodate how you’d like therapy in a way that feels comfortable for you… this truly is a welcoming space for you.

My goal during every one of our therapy sessions, is to give you the space and support to be able to think your way through your concerns.  We will build on your understanding, self-awareness and general wellbeing to empower you to find the solutions that work best for you.

I know just how difficult it can be to adapt to all kinds of new experiences such as changing relationships with friends, family or romantic, reaching certain life milestones, shifts in career and education, and also losing people, pets and the way things used to be.

Or maybe it is change that you are looking for. Do you feel stuck or that things are becoming boring, hard to maintain or unfulfilling? It can be difficult working out what change we need and how to go about it, whils t keeping ourselves ok as we go through it.

This world is certainly complicated at times, but a lot smoother with the right support network. I am here for you as you work things out. There may be times I offer insights, help reveal your blind spots, uncover the coping mechanisms you use, help you understand attachment and relationship styles and also consider your own helpful and unhelpful conditions of worth.

Throughout our counselling appointments, I will listen with enhanced care and supply you with an abundance of unconditional specialised support. I have many years of experience and training that has honed my skills to be a safe and highly beneficial therapist .

You may decide to spend time unpicking your past, deepening your understanding and self-compassion. Reflecting this way can be a really helpful tool in building resilience and confidence to improve your wellbeing. Looking back can sometimes feel a little daunting, so rest assured I will help you manage this process by setting a pace that suits you and promoting some useful coping strategies and developing a self-care package.

Alongside this, or alternatively, you may be interested in realigning yourself with your current needs. Working in the here and now allows us to acknowledge and accurately identify our emotions more deeply and learn to hold them. This can lead to personal growth and self-acceptance and perhaps drawing closer our self image to our ideal self.

Together we can improve your wellbeing, connect with me to find out more.
