Ms Elizabeth King

Psychotherapist, Clinical Psychologist

Within us all there lies a drive to develop and move forward - at times emotional conflicts and stresses interrupt that process. Whether these interruptions are leftover from early experiences, or responses to situational crises, psychotherapy can be a useful tool in addressing such blocks.

Services

  • Counselling, Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Clinical Supervision 
  • Elizabeth sees adults with a range of emotional, interpersonal, and psychological concerns. While many of Elizabeth's clients seek help for clinical conditions such as depression or anxiety, they may also be people without a clinical diagnosis.

    This includes: people with chronic dissatisfaction with life; issues with self-esteem, boundaries, and assertiveness; people with questions of identity or sense of self; issues with sex and sexuality; and interpersonal or relationship problems.

    Areas of Special Interest

  • Addiction, Alcohol / Drug Dependency, Anxiety / Panic Attacks, Assertiveness, Childhood Issues, Creativity, Depression, Existential Issues, Gender and Sexuality, Intimacy Issues, Life Transitions, Obsessive Compulsive, Personality Disorders, Relationship Issues, Self Development, Sex Related Issues 
  • MODALITIES / Approach

    ACT, Interpersonal, Mindfulness, Psychoanalytic, Psychodynamic, Self Psychology

    Elizabeth offers psychodynamic psychotherapy, and is particularly interested in Psychoanalytic Self Psychology.

    From this framework, therapist and patient work together over time towards a deep understanding of the patient's emotional life - this can lead to greater self-acceptance, a more cohesive 'sense of self,' as well as a reduction in symptoms.

    Mindfulness and ACT techniques also may be offered to encourage reflection and self-awareness, and a capacity to manage difficult emotions.
