Mrs Liz Butterworth

Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

My passion is to help people find emotional healing and freedom from past hurts, traumas, and negative life experiences. I am experienced in working with adults and children, including play therapy.

About Me

I help people find emotional healing and freedom from past hurts. Whether you are an adult or a child, I offer a compassionate space to explore difficult experiences. For younger clients, this often involves play therapy, allowing feelings to emerge naturally. We can work together to understand your unique story and find a path toward lasting calm. My aim is for you to feel truly heard, gain clarity, and embrace a fresh start.

Approach

Healing often unfolds when we slow down to notice patterns, name feelings and try small, safe experiments that shift old responses. In Durban or online, in English, sessions are relaxed and structured—short check-ins, a focused activity or reflection, and clear options for families and individuals between meetings. With children I use playful materials to let emotions show; with teens and adults we map triggers and build practical coping steps, always pacing to what feels manageable. People seeking steady, collaborative change tend to find this way of working helpful.
