The-Growing Room: Counselling and Psychotherapy

Breathe. See. Grow.

Our mission

To enable access to support for young people and adults alike.

An integrative approach in a calm and safe therapeutic space
that values and prizes each individual.


I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with experience in a range of contexts from a cancer care facility to high schools. Having taught in secondary schools previously, for over a decade, I work with clients aged 12 and over.

As a mother to two beautiful girls, I understand the challenges parenting can bring and combined with my teaching background, have a wealth of experience working with parents, school staff and young people.

Your experience in your own words:

‘I can’t express enough gratitude to Liz—she has been fantastic from the start. She has worked closely with our daughter, providing unwavering support through a difficult time. As parents, we have felt truly supported, with excellent communication throughout. Liz doesn’t just provide a service; she offers genuine care and compassion. Our daughter enjoys her sessions and always looks forward to them. The welcoming and relaxing environment adds to the experience. We are incredibly grateful for the support.’

Your experience in your own words:

As an anxious person who often feels like a plane on autopilot heading towards a storm, this journey is helping me regain a sense of agency and control over my own life choices and actions. With Liz’s help, I started recognising and questioning my internal monologue, unpicking all those self-critical voices, and allowing me to challenge my own personal narrative, ultimately putting me back in charge of it. Through this process, I am also learning to be more compassionate towards myself and to accept my feelings as they form, instead of just silencing them’

“Liz is amazing at what she does. She lets the patient take her where they need to go to heal. She will then navigate that hurt with you. For me, this has included calming techniques, structures of behaviour, and how they impact dynamics with people, permission to be sad and cry and how to love yourself. I can’t adequately express how life-changing this has been for me. I went from an anxious wreck to a person who can now deal with difficult situations well and often with joy!”
