Less Linear Life is about working with your own rhythms, embracing complexity and setting your own direction - because life is rarely straightforward. I help women experiencing anxiety and burnout make sense of their lives, find meaning and go their own way.

Hi, I’m Lizz, officially Dr Elizabeth Lewis, a dual qualified HCPC-registered Chartered Psychologist and UKCP-accredited Clinical Psychotherapist. I offer integrative, relational therapy informed by mind–body and trauma-aware approaches, supporting women navigating this busy season of their lives.

I’m not your average psychologist! I re-trained in my 30s, taking an unconventional path, and I’m proudly navigating my less linear life. As both Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I bring a unique perspective combining academic and research work with 10 years of clinical experience and nearly 20 years across professional and entrepreneurial settings. I’ve headed teams, launched campaigns, made documentary films, published writing, spoken publicly, coached leaders, taught yoga and am forever renovating houses - all of which shape my curiosity, creativity and the way I work with clients.

My work is also shaped by lived experience. Diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and ADHD as an adult, I understand what it’s like to think differently, carry high expectations and navigate life outside the straight path. I’ve also experienced trauma, recurrent miscarriage and baby loss, and I parent both neurodivergent and neurotypical children - experiences that shape my compassionate, inclusive and embodied approach to therapy.

I believe that trauma and neurodivergence, when understood and supported, can be powerful sources of creativity, strength and purpose. My aim is to help women process their experiences, navigate life transitions and cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others - building insight and resilience that endures beyond therapy.

Outside of work I’m a mum to three children, whilst carrying my lost babies in my heart. I’m married to a kind and supportive man and inspired by creativity, movement and nature. I’m also learning to embrace sea swimming (even when the first plunge feels impossible!).

With all of this in my mix, I understand the value of working with the rhythms of the season you’re in and I’m passionate about helping others find theirs.
