About Courageous Therapy
Empowering Therapy
welcome to Courageous Therapy
Hello my name is Elspeth, i am a Certified mBIT Coach and psychotherapist MNCPS Acc.(she/her) verified by Psychology Today.
I am an experienced trauma counsellor, psychotherapist, emotional support worker, mBIT Coach and holistic therapist based in Kirklees, West Yorkshire. I am trained as an integrated therapist, and my practice incorporates a compassion-focused therapy approach, aimed at fostering mental and emotional healing.
More importantly I am here to help you to facilitate change, and discover your desired outcome, to increase your wisdom around your daily decisions and actions. I am here to help you understand your communication patterns and will never take away choice, always adding new and more generative/wiser choices. The mind and body form a system, they interact and mutually influence each other. Its not possible to make a change without the other being affected .
I work with a compassion-focused therapy (CFT) approach which helps promote mental and emotional healing through encouraging those who have suffered loss to develop empathy and compassion towards oneself. Understanding how our brains develop and function can be a starting place for an appreciation that "this is not my fault".
Together, we’ll work towards your goals, empowering you to live with greater clarity, balance, and self-acceptance.
