Approach

Elizabeth takes a warm, collaborative approach to therapy, supporting her clients to build rich, meaningful lives aligned with who they truly are.

​

Her primary framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people develop psychological flexibility and navigate difficult thoughts and emotions. She thoughtfully integrates Compassion-Focused Therapy, encouraging clients to relate to themselves with kindness rather than self-criticism, especially during times of struggle.

​

Where specific patterns or anxieties feel stuck, Elizabeth incorporates Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help clients safely face challenges and break cycles of avoidance. Her work is further supported by Collaborative Problem Solving, ensuring that therapy is not just about insight, but about working together to find practical, sustainable solutions to life’s hurdles.

​

A strong Humanistic foundation underpins her practice, meaning therapy is always centred on the individual. Elizabeth values creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel heard and empowered. Her approach is strengths-based, active, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals.

Support

Because therapeutic approaches vary, it is important to find a psychologist whose modality aligns with your specific needs. Given Elizabeth’s background and focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a third-wave CBT approach, it is recommended you assess whether this framework is the right fit for your goals. Similarly, a psychologist’s background and experience represent other important factors for consideration. While Elizabeth’s teaching background and school experience might prove helpful with respect to some clients’ needs, there are many other psychologists with different backgrounds and experiences that would better align with many clients’ needs.
