Elizabeth Willoughby

I have face to face availability in High Barnet on Monday afternoons and from April 2026 in King's Cross (Wheelchair accessible) on Wednesdays.  Online sessions are also available on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Thank you for viewing my profile. Whether you have had counselling before or this is your first enquiry, finding the right counsellor can be a further challenge in itself. There will be many reasons why you have taken this important and courageous step towards your self care and growth. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, isolated or overwhelmed with life. You may be grieving after the loss of a loved one. There may be things that you want to unravel from your past that are hindering you in the present. Or you may simply need a chance to just be, to talk through your worries and be listened to. 

I can offer you a secure, compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore your feelings and any aspects of your life where you feel stuck so that wounds can be healed and new paths can be forged.

My training is in Gestalt therapy and I use this and other approaches, such as person centred counselling and mindfulness in the sessions. 

I work with individual adults of all ages.

Counselling Qualifications and Experience:

- I hold a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Diploma in Gestalt Counselling and a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling from the Gestalt Centre.

- I am an accredited member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and I adhere to their Code of Ethics and Practice. My work is regularly supervised by Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited supervisors. I hold professional insurance and am DBS checked. I am also a member of the ICO.

- In addition to my private client work, I have worked as a  NHS talking therapy counsellor for a number of years and continue to provide counselling in this area.  I hold a  NHS practitioner certificate in Counselling for Depression (PCE CfD) from the Metanoia Institute.

-  I also hold a Certificate in the Therapeutic Use of Mindfulness 

-  I  regularly attend courses that explore creative writing such as journaling and poetry as a therapeutic tool.

Other Experience:

My background is in education where I worked for many years prior to becoming a counsellor.

I offer a 15 minute free Zoom call. This is an opportunity for you to tell me about yourself, your reasons for seeking therapy and ask me any questions. After that, an  initial session is £45 where we can sort out contracting and information and  begin our work together. Subsequent sessions are charged at £70.  All sessions are 50 minutes.
