Hello, my name is Liz (she/her). I am a friendly, genuine, empathetic psychologist who works collaboratively with clients to ensure they feel understood and empowered to be the best version of themselves. I deliver a holistic, client-centred approach and create a safe space to encourage individuals to navigate a life aligned with their values and personal goals

The majority of my practice focuses on:

• anxiety and depression

• stress, burnout, and perfectionism

• body image and womens' health

• performance-related issues (e.g., sport, school/university, or work-related)

In addition to the above, I have a special interest in working with the sporting population and performance-related issues. I have specialised training in sport and performance psychology. One focus of my practice includes working with athletes and performers across the following areas: athlete identity, navigating transitions in sport (e.g., injury, life after sport), team dynamics, and performance-related issues. I believe in working with the human rather than solely focusing on the athlete, to promote understanding and build tools which can be applied in high-performance environments.
