Online therapy for women who appear to be managing well externally while experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional distress internally. Provided by an HCPC Psychologist.
Who the therapy is for
This is an online therapy process designed for women carrying high levels of responsibility, often professionals or entrepreneurs and mothers or carers, who are seeking consistent psychological support that fits into busy lives.
This work suits women who want to commit to weekly sessions and who value a pause during the school holidays.
What the therapy covers
Anxiety, burnout and chronic overwhelm
Identity shifts linked to career, motherhood or perimenopause
ADHD traits or late diagnosis
Parenting neurodivergent children
Fertility journeys, baby loss, or birth-related trauma
The effects of trauma, past or present
How the therapy is structured
Therapy follows the rhythm of the school year, running from September to mid-July (39 weeks). Work is agreed term-by-term, with a minimum commitment of one term (12 weeks). Many women choose to continue across the full school year, allowing time for depth, integration and meaningful change.
I offer three entry points across the school year:
Autumn start (September)
Winter start (January)
Spring start (after Easter)
Outside of these, I occasionally offer later starts where this is clinically appropriate and space allows. This is discussed during an initial consultation.
How the therapy unfolds
Arrival & orientation
Building understanding, safety and clarity about your current challenges and patterns.
Recognition & regulation
Noticing how neurobiology, experience, stress and relationships interact and developing greater regulation.
Depth work & integration
Processing trauma, transitions and identity changes; strengthening resilience and self-compassion.
Consolidation & ending
Reviewing progress, integrating learning and preparing for the summer pause or continuation.
What clients often notice over time
Greater clarity and emotional regulation
Reduced self-criticism and overwhelm
Increased confidence in managing work, family and personal life
A more compassionate, grounded relationship with themselves
A greater sense of purpose, meaning and identity
Tools and insight that remain useful beyond therapy
Progress is reviewed collaboratively throughout the year and reflected on at the end of the term.

About Dr Lizz Lewis
I am an HCPC-registered Chartered Psychologist and UKCP-accredited Clinical Psychotherapist, offering integrative, relational therapy informed by mind–body and trauma-aware approaches.
I work with women navigating high responsibility, leadership and entrepreneurship, alongside motherhood or caring demands, identity transitions and emotional overwhelm — supporting sustainable psychological change over time.
My practice is shaped by my own lived experience of business, motherhood and personal healing and is enriched by neurodivergent thinking. This allows me to bring both professional depth and embodied understanding to the therapeutic work.
Approach to Therapy
As an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist and UKCP-accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, I work within clear, agreed time-limits, with defined goals, regular check-ins and space for reflection. This structure creates safe boundaries and supports both client and therapist in managing change thoughtfully and effectively.
My work is trauma-informed and integrative. Together, we explore the impact of lived experiences, the meanings we make and the choices we take. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong”, but about understanding what has happened and how it continues to shape emotional, relational and bodily experience.
While I draw on diagnostic frameworks such as the DSM-5 when clinically relevant, this is never the sole lens I apply. My starting point is our fundamental human need for psychological security and what happens when early foundations are uncertain, or when lives are later disrupted by trauma, loss, or life transitions.
I work primarily with high-achieving, high-responsibility women - often professionals, business owners, leaders and mothers, as well as women forging alternative paths - who may be experiencing anxiety, burnout, identity shifts, relational difficulties, or the embodied impact of trauma. Many are navigating sustained pressure over time and may be exploring or contemplating a late neurodivergent diagnosis, such as ADHD.
I do not ask, “What is wrong with you?”
Instead, I ask, “What happened to you?”
Central to my approach is the understanding that relationships shape emotional and physical wellbeing. Early and significant attachment experiences are held, often unconsciously, within our mind-body systems, influencing how we respond to stress, intimacy, responsibility and change across the lifespan. As we are often hurt in relationship, it is through relationship that healing becomes possible.
Ultimately, my aim is to support women to process experience, develop new narratives and build more compassionate and sustainable relationships with themselves and others. I believe that working through trauma does not only support individual wellbeing, but can also have a meaningful ripple effect, shaping families, relationships and future generations.
