Elizabeth Valentine

Professional Profile

My name is Liz and I am a qualified and accredited CBT therapist. I have worked in the NHS for over seven years and within education prior to that supporting children and young people with their mental health and wellbeing.

I have a very person-centred approach, taking time to get to know the individual and their needs. Experience and additional training mean that I am able to offer an integrative approach to therapy so that it is suited to the individual. This may include drawing on other modalities such as Systemic Practice, Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), for example within the CBT framework.

I specialise in supporting young people with difficult experiences they may have had and working alongside them to improve mental health difficulties resulting from such experiences, helping them to re-engage with affirming life goals. 

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.
