Liz Maskew

I am a Blind Counsellor and Holistic Therapist, Mum of 2 teens with lived experience of parenting with past trauma, parenting children with different needs and mental health struggles.

The above experience and skills mean that I understand the need for flexibility and thinking outside the box to support you on your journey towards positive changes.

I won’t judge I’ve been there,

I care because I’ve been there,

I know things can be different, I have struggled and grown.

Most of all I have hope you can grow through the struggles and distress to find a calmer and more content future with improved communication and connections.

Some of my other skills and experience includes:

Early in 2023 I qualified as a Child and Young Person Therapeutic Mentor.

I started Counselling in Primary and High Schools in 2019. This has given me a solid understanding of children’s mental health needs and how children can present in different settings and with different people.

I have worked for 6 years as a Crisis Support Worker supporting adults and Teens in mental health distress with struggles including self harm, suicidal thoughts, feelings and intentions to act on those.

Having supported people face to face, via phone, zoom, text and through online chat formats, I am able to be flexible in how I offer counselling support.

I have been a Clinical Hypnotherapist for over 20 years working with:

• Self Confidence

• Anxiety

• Phobias

• Stopping Smoking

• Assertiveness

• Along with many other issues / struggles

I have also been a Holistic Therapist providing Reflexology, Celtic Reiki and teaching Infant Massage for over 13 years.

This experience enables me to provide you with support that is based around you as an individual and your particular needs, because there is no one size fits all.
