Elizabeth CookeI qualified as a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist at Metanoia in 2005, but have had a prior background as a Christian Counsellor, Social Worker and Probation Officer. All of these, my own personal therapy and my own ongoing passion to facilitate people finding their own healing through the therapeutic space and relationship constantly underpins my approach as a therapist. Every person is a unique individual and so I find an integrative person-centred approach the most helpful model to help me in my work. Since my training I have worked in a private hospital, in private practice, and since 2011 I have worked in the National Health Service (NHS) in various Community Mental Health Teams (CMHT) and Hospitals – both acute and long term. I currently work part time in the NHS as part of a psychological service, where I work in both a rehabilitation hospital and the community. I greatly value the Independent Practitioner Network (IPN) which I have belonged to over the past 5 years as in my experience they hold the greatest integrity to themselves, their clients, and provide the best practice in peer supervision. |
