“Stories are the only enchantment possible, for when we begin to see our suffering as a story, we are saved.”

— Anais Nin

Hi I’m Lizz, friends and family call me Lizzie, officially I’m Dr Elizabeth Lewis. I’m a dual qualified Clinical Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist, also consulting in behaviour and social change. I was never very good at picking one thing, so I’ve always done several things at once. This hasn’t been easy, but it’s certainly been interesting. I proudly navigate my version of a less linear life and support others as they find theirs. 

I’m diagnosed dyslexic, identify as neurodivergent and embrace thinking differently. I have a son on the autistic spectrum (PDA profile) and spend a lot of time reflecting on neurodiversity and what it means for myself and others. 

I do all my reading through listening and most of my thinking through talking. I love to write. I’ve recently started sea swimming, despite hating the transition into cold water. I was born and bred in London and spent most of my adult life living in renovation projects as I moved across East London. Seeking out the healing power of the sea, we moved our little family to the Kent coast and are currently renovating what we hope will be our forever home. I’m married to the kindest man who continues to teach me so much about what love is. I’m mum to three wild and wonderful children (and carry my lost babies in my heart). Being a mum is my most precious and all consuming role, as I do my best to help my children navigate the world they’ve found themselves in. 

My two favourite subjects are property and psychology and I love to design spaces and places that make a happy and healthy home. I’m passionate about working on social change campaigns, especially where people’s lives are impacted through stigma and discrimination.

My key interests for psychotherapy focus around improving wellbeing: trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity, matrescence, baby loss, psychadelic psychotherapy and neuroplasticity in altered states of consciousness.
