About Me

After training at the well renowned Clifton Practice in Edinburgh (CPHT), I was awarded my DSFH (Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy), and my HPD (Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma). The HPD is widely regarded as the Gold Standard in Hypnotherapy, with only 20% of hypnotherapists holding this qualification. Hypnotherapy is still an unregulated profession so you should always ask to see evidence of this qualification, and if in doubt, seek therapy elsewhere.

I’m Liza and I am a 43-year-old mother of two teenagers and one little dog.

I know only too well what it is like to struggle with anxiety, low mood, and feelings of low self-esteem with relationship problems and my own dysfunctional relationship with alcohol all thrown in for good measure!

Discovering the solution focused approach to therapy, in combination with access to the subconscious mind, led me on my own journey of self-discovery and changed my life. It changed the way I think about things, the way I see things, and the way I do things, and it has enabled me to dedicate my time to helping others in the same way.

When I’m not working with my clients, I am researching, reading, and listening to podcasts related to neuroscience, human behaviour and wellbeing - this area of interest is everything to me and it ensures that my knowledge is up to date. I also attend regular supervision and CPD workshops so that I can be the very best therapist for you.

I run my own clinic for face-to-face sessions in Murrayfield, Edinburgh, which I have designed to be a welcoming, non-clinical space or you can have your sessions from the comfort of your own surroundings using Microsoft Teams.

Having online sessions is of great benefit for many different reasons - you may be short of time, and I know from my own previous experience that going somewhere new can be a great source of anxiety. Working online also means that distance is no problem. I have worked with clients all over the UK and as far away as South Africa.

Face to face sessions are preferable for others and my room is a non-intimidating, private space, designed to replicate a cosy home from home environment - think squashy sofa and soft blankets so you can put your feet up and make yourself at home.

Free parking is available, but I am easy to find by public transport.

Whatever your preference, I’m here for you so please get in touch to organise a free initial consultation. I’d love to work with you and help you to reach your own full potential.

I have a very chilled approach and never pressure anyone into booking further sessions. The decision to seek, attend, and continue with this type of therapy, should always be yours.

I’m looking forward to seeing you.

Liza
