LIZ DOWN BA Hons, PGDip, MBACP
I am a warm, empathic, highly experienced counsellor providing face to face sessions in Seaford and via Zoom or by phone.
I have over 15 years experience as a trauma-informed person-centred counsellor, specialising in trauma, loss/bereavement, anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem.
Why choose counselling?
Life can be incredibly tough and complex and sometimes we can struggle to cope and find quality of life.
Clients often tell me they feel a huge sense of relief to off load burdens and to feel genuinely heard without judgment in a confidential, warm and supportive space.
Counselling with me provides a space to feel really understood and supported to work through issues collaboratively and to find a new way forwards.
I tailor counselling to you as an individual. This could mean working in a goal-oriented way using CBT tools. It could mean working through past traumas over more long-term work. I will be guided by what is right for you and regularly check-in and review how counselling is meeting your needs.
I provide an empowering relationship in which we explore how you see yourself and the world. We will work to build fresh perspective on yourself and your life and to boost self-esteem.
Client Reviews
'Incredibly intuitive, kind and insightful therapist. Liz can gently prod you in the right direction have recommended Liz to others and would not hesitate to do so again. Thank you for all your support Liz."
Mum of two teenagers - 50's
"Liz provided me with a safe space in which to explore the previously impossible things I needed to explore. She had compassion and empathy. She kept up with my lengthy rambles, and sat in silence with me, shared her insights when appropriate and really heard what I needed to say. My time with Liz allowed an authentic shift deep inside myself that has been profoundly healing. I would wish anyone finding themselves struggling with painful and challenging issues a "Liz" to go on that journey with. Truly professional whilst also being humanly real, Liz's skills and abilities as a counsellor are second to none".
Female client - 40's
"Liz has helped me immensely with her compassionate and very understanding nature. I feel totally at ease with her and I am able to share my innermost feelings and worries without any risk of being judged. I actually look forward to our sessions each week as a way of cleaning my mind for the week ahead."

Everyday life is busy and we can hold on to emotional issues until we have space to unpack them. Individual counselling offers a nurturing, non judgemental environment to explore unresolved issues and create more of what we would love in our lives. Once you are ready to make this commitment to yourself to make this space, things often really change.

Being a young person today is harder than it's ever been. Young people are deluged with media, tests and expectations: whether of their parents, peers, teachers or social media. All of this can lead to them needing a little extra support to stay health and well balanced. Young person's counselling can provide invaluable support for young people and parents.
