Among Puffins Counselling
Areas of support
Hi, I’m Liz!
I’m a registered counsellor and Among Puffins Counselling is my private practice where I offer counselling sessions online for those seeking support.
I primarily work with women, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent people. Or those who are tired of living with pressure, expectations and survival strategies that no longer serve them.
-
Untangling experiences of depression, anxiety & responses to trauma.
Neurodivergent burnout, masking, and emotional regulation
Difficulty in relationships; attachment dynamics and boundaries.
Separating personal responsibility from the impact of oppressive systems
Working with shame, increasing self-compassion, and rebuilding trust in your own experience of yourself.
Living with chronic illness, and the exhaustion of navigating a flawed medical system.
Queer & Gender-affirming support through identity exploration or transition.
-
I worked in hospitality for a decade whilst pursuing a career in mental health, so I understand the nitty gritty details of shift work, insecure pay, substance use culture, burnout, and toxic workplaces with porous boundaries.
I live with invisible chronic illness. I know what it's like to live in a visibly able body, be held to expectations, and judged when you don't meet them - along with the grief and isolation that comes with changes in your capacity.
I'm a member of the LGBTQIAPK+ community, with lived understanding of navigating consensual non-monogamy; navigating things like jealousy, relationship anarchy, and not seeing your own relationship dynamics reflected in media, or understood by the people around you.
