I use an integrative approach with clients, with a basis in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy or 'parts work', a trauma-informed, mindfulness based modality, and I draw from somatic and behavioural interventions to invite change and acceptance in your life.
There are times in our lives that we cannot get a handle on the challenges in our life. Sometimes our genetics play a role, i.e. intergenerational traumas, and other times, life, and all its stressors gets overwhelming. For some, systemic barriers exist that impede a capacity for wellness. During these times, it is helpful to work with a trained therapist to support you as you find your way back to your healing, happiness and inner peace. Therapy is a process of growth, unlearning, and self-discovery. In my therapy sessions, I promote behavioral transformation and inner peace by encouraging curiosity, compassion and acceptance.

I offer relational, psychodynamic, somatic informed psychotherapy.
Navigating loss, feeling anxious or frustrated with life, or difficulties in relationships can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. For most of us, we’re not familiar with how to deal with hard feelings. So we adapt as best we can, and develop strategies to cope. Sometimes these strategies begin to interfere with our lives, and may even make us feel worse. The good news is, therapy can help you with this. By being curious about your experiences, and listening intently, we can begin to learn what your needs are and find supportive ways to deal with the hard stuff, and move you towards feeling better & less alone.

My practice draws on existential, humanistic and psychodynamic traditions of Western psychology and is grounded in the wisdom of Eastern philosophies, mindfulness and somatic work.
Emotional pain is an inherent part of the human experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. In our sessions, we will work through your struggles and together create a clear path for you to feel in control and content with your life. You'll enter a non-judgmental space where you can truly be you, with the ability to express your innermost thoughts and feelings. I will meet you where you are in your journey with acceptance and compassion. I work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, attachment issues and interpersonal concerns such as work, family, relationships and friendships.

Therefore, I will draw upon alternative and evidence-based modalities such as; Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness- and Somatic-informed approaches.
My practice is rooted in the desire to understand the human experience and forge meaningful connections with individuals on their paths to healing and self-discovery. Within the therapeutic relationship, I bring authenticity, compassion, curiosity, and humour, fostering an environment that is safe and non-judgmental. I am not a passive observer and instead believe in collaboration, open communication, and constructive challenge. Both as a client and a clinician, I recognize the importance of embracing discomfort as a catalyst for growth and meaningful change.

Have you ever wondered why, despite all your efforts, some emotional problems or conflicts fail to heal? I believe dysregulation is at the heart of the problem. Crying uncontrollably, racing thoughts or spacing out, flying into rage or shutting down, are all examples of dysregulation. If you've tried therapy before but you're still struggling, it's likely that traditional therapy like CBT, which does not effectively address the nervous system response to stress, has left you still reacting in these old ways. Sensorimotor somatic psychotherapy works directly with the nervous system to down regulate anxiety and upregulate depression.

All of us can be presented with hardship, pain and overwhelm - sometimes without warning. It is in these stressful moments that we may struggle to find the tools to cope. Confronted by life’s challenges, it can become difficult to see the path forward.

Through the integration of EMDR, Somatic therapy and other evidence-based psychological modalities, I guide clients on a transformative journey.
When was the last time you experienced harmony with your core principles? At Hartwell Counselling, I provide a compassionate and transformative therapy rooted in evidence-based practices such as EMDR. EMDR which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and its the gold standard for treating and processing trauma. EMDR reduces trauma symptoms in a shorter time frame than the traditional talk therapy. Many clients have reported a reduction of traumatic symptoms after the initial few sessions of EMDR. EMDR is not a magic cure for trauma but it might produce some symptoms relief.

I work collaboratively with clients to create a uniquely tailored therapeutic experience that goes beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating several evidence-based "bottom-up" treatments (IFS - Internal Family System, EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, & SE - Somatic Experiencing) with anti-oppressive & culturally sensitive frameworks.
Hi, I'm Liz - a clinical psychologist who values building a safe, connected, and empowering therapeutic relationship. I focus on understanding you holistically, choosing depth & experiential change over band-aid solutions & surface conversations. I strive to help you derive meaning from your repeated behavior patterns & complex emotional reactions, as well as deepen self- awareness and strengthen self-worth so you can make personally valued changes when you feel ready for it. I am drawn to working with insecure attachment styles, sex/intimacy issues, highly sensitive folks, queer community, & adult survivors of childhood trauma.

Drawing on IFS, somatic therapies, and a wealth of knowledge in trauma, attachment theory, and embodied social justice, I use an integrative approach to help you reconnect with who you are beyond hurting and surviving.
Life may feel tough right now, like you can barely cope. You might long to switch off your brain or emotions, or feel like it's hard to get relationships right. Maybe you’re hurting, telling yourself there’s something wrong with you. I promise there’s nothing wrong with you. Hurting is human, and so is wanting someone to walk with you through pain to healing. Often this means reconnecting with who you are beneath the strategies you’ve built to keep going and stay safe. We all have these, and they work well, but they can come at the cost of losing touch with our truest Self, along with its full capacity to experience joy and calm.

My style is relational, with somatic techniques from hakomi.
Sometimes we can feel disconnected from ourselves or from those close to us. Perhaps there are strong emotions pulling in many directions all at once, or a numbness with no explanation at all. In such times we feel anxious, overwhelmed and alone. There is safety in feeling accompanied by someone who cares, and can help find balance again. I believe our feelings can be great teachers, though often confusing. In this way, I believe we do have the answers within us. Unlocking them is a process: giving voice to emotions, being seen and understood, discovering a new awareness, taking steps gently in a new direction.
