“But don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” - Rumi
Lizzie is a psychotherapist and counsellor offering holistic, trauma-informed therapy for individuals seeking deeper self-understanding and meaningful change. She supports clients navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, trauma recovery, burnout, body image concerns, identity exploration, and struggles with self-worth.
At the heart of Lizzie’s work is a belief that you are not broken and you do not need fixing. Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy were once intelligent adaptations to life experiences. Rather than pathologising symptoms, Lizzie offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space where your story is honoured, and your inner wisdom is respected.
Lizzie’s work is grounded in a non-hierarchical approach, wherein therapy is a collaborative and relational process. You are the expert of your lived experience. Lizzie walks alongside you, offering attuned presence, therapeutic skill, and thoughtful guidance while trusting the intelligence already within you.
Drawing from Gestalt Psychotherapy, Parts work, Somatic Psychotherapy, and Depth Psychology, Lizzie integrates body-based awareness, relational exploration, and process-oriented work. This integrative approach allows space to gently explore unconscious patterns, attachment dynamics, and embodied responses while building practical tools for befriending your nervous system and establishing sustainable resilience.
Therapy is a space to slow down. To listen inward. To make sense of your patterns with compassion. To reconnect with your authentic and embodied self. and working toward cultivating greater self-trust, emotional integration, and a life that feels aligned and connected.
Lizzie is an accredited counsellor with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) and is committed to ethical practice and ongoing professional development.
How Can Psychotherapy Support Me?
Psychotherapy is not about becoming someone new. It is about deepening awareness of who you already are.
Through a collaborative and holistic process, therapy may support:
Greater awareness and tenderness toward your vulnerable parts, meeting yourself with compassion rather than criticism.
Understanding and transforming long-held behavioural and relational patterns that no longer serve you.
Integration of all aspects of your authentic self, including the parts that feel hidden, conflicted, or unfinished.
Recognition and trust in your inner wisdom, strengthening your capacity to listen inward and respond with discernment.
Building resilience and internal resources to navigate stress, grief, sorrow, illness, or uncertainty.
Greater capacity to move through change, life transitions, and initiatory moments with grounded presence.
Values-aligned action, supporting your unique creativity, meaning, and sense of purpose.
Clearer boundaries and deepened discernment, allowing relationships to feel more mutual and sustainable.
Openness to connection, with increased trust in yourself and others.
Integration and expansion of personal meaning-making, especially during times of loss or transformation.
Honouring and reconnecting with everyday rituals that restore rhythm, embodiment, and belonging in daily life.
And often, something more subtle unfolds - a quiet strengthening of self-trust, a deeper sense of aliveness, and a renewed capacity to meet life as it is.
