Hi there! I’m Liz, a registered psychologist and the Team Leader at Hopscotch and Harmony’s Belmont Clinic.
If you’re here, you’re probably wondering a little bit about who I am and what it might be like to work with me. At the heart of it, I want my clients to feel like they can come as they are, be themselves and talk about whatever is on their mind without fear of judgement. I have a particular interest in working with adolescent girls and young women, supporting them through what can be a whirlwind time in life. Being a teenager or young adult is hard enough without having to figure out who you’re supposed to be at the same time. Friendships change, school pressures build, emotions can feel bigger, and there can be so many expectations about who you should be, how you should look, what you should achieve and where you should fit in - all while you’re still figuring out who you are. |
I believe therapy should be a team effort, so I work alongside my clients to understand what’s going on, build on their strengths and find strategies that actually fit into their lives. I use different evidence-based approaches, including CBT, ACT and DBT, but I always tailor therapy to the individual, because what works for one person won’t necessarily work for another.
I’m also part of our assessments team, providing ADHD and Specific Learning Disorder (SLD; including Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia) assessments. I enjoy helping people to better understand their brains, strengths, differences and challenges, and using this information to work out what support will help them thrive.
Fun facts about me: I’m a chronic emoji user 😎🌻, black coffee drinker ☕️ and mini schnauzer fanatic 🐶.
