Is it hard to talk to others about what you are experiencing?
Are you looking for help?
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Butler, welcome to this website. As a qualified and accredited counsellor and therapist, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore what is going on in your life. You can talk about anything that is troubling you, and how it might be affecting your wellbeing and your relationships with others.
Sharing what’s going on in your life in a comfortable and safe environment where your experience is heard and valued, might help you to make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Our lives can become complicated, events may have unexpected effects on us, feelings can become overwhelming; being listened to by an impartial and professional counsellor can help to give you a fresh perspective.
are having trouble sleeping, or fear being overwhelmed by stress, depression, anger, sadness or grief, then counselling could help.
Deciding to see a counsellor could be a positive first step
towards addressing whatever is worrying or distressing you.
Perhaps you are suffering from low mood, depression or anxiety?
Or adjusting to a major change in your life, such as divorce, redundancy, illness, or the loss of a loved one?

Maybe you just feel stuck?

Comments from previous clients (used anonymously and with their permission):
"My experience exceeded my expectations. I felt that the rapport that I established with Elizabeth really enabled me to make progress faster. I would absolutely recommend counselling... everyone should explore this possibility."
"I found it very easy to talk to Elizabeth, she was a great listener, kind and understanding."
"I wasn't sure what to expect with counselling to be honest, but I am really glad that I did it. I understand a lot more about how I feel ... and accept and manage things better. I feel so happy today - that shows the contrast I felt compared to when I started."
"The sessions have helped me with a particularly stressful time and allowed me to reflect on my feelings and reactions to these events."
"I gained a better understanding of how to deal with [specific] situations, which
was my aim in coming to counselling."
"I found the reflective neutral space that you offer very helpful."
"I gained a sense of trust with someone professional who was willing to listen and offer support when I needed it most... and the questions I had in my mind were able to be asked judgement-free."
"Time to think in a more organised way about what was going round in my head [and] deciding on a couple of action plans."
"I found it very easy and straightforward to arrange a suitable appointment time."
"[...talking about what was troubling me] was difficult at times because I’d never thought about or talked to anyone about a lot of those things, but always feeling better afterwards for getting it out in the open
