Mrs Liz Hancock

Psychotherapist

“An experienced counsellor/psychotherapist working with individuals and couples.”

About Me

I offer a warm, confidential space to explore your unique concerns. As an experienced psychotherapist, I guide individuals navigating personal challenges. For couples, I help build stronger, more respectful connections. Our sessions provide a collaborative environment for you to explore feelings and gain new perspectives. Together, we develop practical ways forward. This helps you find clarity and greater well-being in your life and relationships.

Approach

Working with individuals and couples, I focus on practical, paced sessions that help you make sense of difficult moments and test small changes safely. Whether we meet in Stratford-upon-Avon or online in English, sessions feel grounded and purposefully paced: we set clear goals, try short experiments in-session, and notice what shifts between meetings. I pay close attention to how chronic illness, loss or stress show up in daily life, and together we shape realistic steps that help restore balance and connection for you and your relationships.
