COVID-19 UPDATE: September 2020
After researching the latest guidelines I shall continue offering counselling sessions via online video conferencing or by telephone during the autumn months. Unfortunately the requirements of social distancing and wearing face coverings could be challenging for face-to-face counselling in a small therapy room, plus there is a possible risk of disruption to continuity of sessions if either party becomes unable to attend due to regional lockdowns or self-isolating as a result of increased contact tracing.
I shall review the situation and updated guidance again by December to see whether or not it will be advisable to resume any face-to-face sessions in the new year.
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?
You might be having problems in a relationship, or experiencing work-related stress.
Sometimes it's difficult to accept something that happened in the past, or we can feel trapped in a cycle of damaging behaviour.
You could be feeling isolated, or adrift, lacking self-esteem or a sense of identity.
Maybe you just feel stuck?

"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."
