… and sometimes it’s rocky, with lots of thoughts and feelings to process. You may be experiencing low mood, anxiety, or low self esteem as you try to move through your issues. I offer you a warm and welcoming space to safely explore how you are feeling right now, how you are affected by your past experiences, and how you would like your life to be. Counselling therapy is a process that can help you to accept the past, and examine the negative patterns in your life, which ultimately can lead you to identify the life you really want. The service is easily accessible from Bedford, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Wellingborough.
My name is Liz Burr and I am an advanced trainee counsellor. The modality of counseling I use is Transactional Analysis, which can help you to understand how you have developed into the person you are today. It is also a great way of understanding how you communicate with others, and how you may sometimes find yourself wondering why you seem to be having the same conversations over and over again in your life. As you gain self awareness, it is possible to have greater flexibility and understanding in all of your relationships, including your relationship with yourself.
I work using a contractual method, which means that we aim to get really clear about what you want to achieve from counselling, so that we can work together along a well defined path. I can work with you on a short term or long term basis, but we will review your progress together every 6 sessions to ensure you are getting the most out of your experience of counselling.
Each session lasts for 50 minutes. We will have an initial assessment session which will be slightly longer and will determine whether we can work together safely, or whether you may require a referral to a service more suitable for your needs.
I conduct all sessions face to face as I believe that this promotes a powerful working relationship between therapist and client.
Our sessions will take place in beautiful rooms set in the market town of Olney, which is within easy reach of Milton Keynes, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire and Bedford
Each session, including the assessment session, costs £35. This is payable via bank transfer or cash on the day of the session.
I have a limited amount of
space for people experiencing financial hardship to pay a lower rate, and I operate a waiting list for this service.
I operate a cancellation policy, and therefore ask for 24 hours notice for
all cancellations. Sessions cancelled with less notice will be charged at the full rate.
