Elizabeth Garret

I have over 20 years experience of working with adults and young people aged 16+.

I have worked in a variety of settings and enjoy offering different approaches which I integrate to best match particular needs.

I also provide a creative space with a variety of media to use including clay, paint, postcards and miniature figures. Using the arts needs no previous experience, the focus is on self-expression rather than being artistic and is always invitational, not an expectation.

I have worked with a large range of presenting problems including physical, sexual and emotional abuse, self-harm and suicide, anxiety, stress, panic attacks, work-related issues, bereavement and loss, depression, identity, life stages, relationship issues, eating disorders, miscarriage, infertility, stillbirth and SIDS.

I am an Accredited Counsellor and a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, whose ethical framework I abide by.

I am also an accredited counsellor with The Foundation for Infant Loss.

I have a diploma in Counselling and Integrative Arts Psychotherapy, a certificate in Advanced Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy as well as a diploma in Supervision from The Link.

Counselling

Counselling is a collaborative relationship where we both work together, in a supportive environment, on the things that may be troubling you.

Sharing a problem can be hugely beneficial and counselling provides a safe and regular space for you to talk and explore difficult emotions.

It can be a great relief to share your worries and fears with someone who acknowledges your feelings and works towards helping you reach a solution.
