Elizabeth Hartley

I offer a warm and compassionate therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences safely and at your own pace. My approach integrates psychotherapy and coaching psychology, which means we explore together to understand your past and to support meaningful change in the present. For many clients - especially those recovering from difficult relationships this work helps to reduce overwhelm and confusion and helps to rebuild self- trust and clarity. 

What can you expect from my practice?

When you work with me you will be stepping into a supportive space created especially for women who want to to heal and reconnect with themselves, and move forward with clarity and confidence. My practice blends psychotherapy, coaching, psychology and breath work in a way that meets you exactly where you are. 

Your First Session with Me: What to expect & The Benefits

Your first session is a gentle beginning - a chance for you to arrive, breath and settle. Many women feel nervous before starting therapy or coaching, so I make sure the space feel warm and welcoming from the moment you step in the door or join online. You don't need to prepare anything or know what other say. This session is simply about getting to know you and understanding what you need. 

Domestic Abuse Counselling and Coaching.

Are you looking for professional support to reconnect with yourself after an abusive relationship. Domestic abuse often leaves us feeling confused and betrayed. Psychotherapy and coaching, together, can foster a sense of self awareness and empowerment. Through techniques such as guided mindfulness and somatic practices you can regain a sense of agency and motivation. 

I have worked for many years supporting women who have experienced domestic abuse, are living free from that abuse and yet, still feeling the effects of past controlling and coercive behaviours.  

If this resonates with you book a free consultation call to find out more about this specialised area of counselling.

Elizabeth Hartley - Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Master Coach.

Welcome. I am straight forward, warm and non judgemental. I provide a safe, empathic and honest space to help you understand and work through difficult feelings and experiences. 

Your first session is a FREE consultation  session. We will meet on-line to see if I am best suited for your personal growth at this time. 

Our Coach Certification Training is run over 4 consecutive days or 2 consecutive weekends, throughout the year. Our next training is April 2026 @ The University of Kent in Canterbury. email hello@elizabethhartley.co.uk to book a discovery call or to secure your place on the next training.

Are you a therapist  looking to enhance your skills and expand your private practice?  Join me to learn a coaching approach called mBraining (mBIT Coaching for short). 

When you are licensed as an mBIT Coach you will gain access to a growing international network of coaches. You will also access our mentoring and practice groups for your own personal development as an mBIT Coach. 

Our trainings  run from The University of Kent campus. The  campus is just an hour from London, which makes it easy to travel back and forth if you live near London. Alternatively there is on site accommodation on campus. 

The campus sits on 300 acres of parkland overlooking the historic city of Canterbury - combining a tranquil, green, peaceful environment (good for reflection and study). Tis makes it ideal for coach training and personal development workshops if you value a calm, reflective environment alongside accessible connections to major cities.

The learning spaces across campus give a strong infrastructure for study and breakout spaces to practice your newly learnt coaching skills. 

Cinema & Theatre & Live Entertainment @ The University of Kent 

The Gulbenkian Arts centre has a 340 seat theatre, a 300 seat cinema and houses a cafe/bar where you can get food or drinks before and during breaks and after your training day. 

In the surrounding city of Canterbury (just a short trip from campus), there are additional venues, restaurants and cafes to enjoy your time in this historical city. 

What this means is you don't have to leave the campus for a night out, everything is within walking distance.
