About me
Hi, my name is Elizabeth, I am Canadian and I lived in the Netherlands for over 30 years. I recently relocated to Westmount/Montreal where I provide in-person couples counselling and in-person and online individual counselling. I also provide clinical supervision as an adjunct professor to Masters in Counselling Psychology students at Webster University in Leiden, NL. I hold a Masters in Clinical Counselling and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I am a Certified Gottman Method couples therapist (CGT), a Level 1 Gottman Method trainer for professionals and an Art & Science of Love workshop presenter.
​
In addition to private practice, I served as the staff welfare officer of a UN associated international organisation for twelve years. I have also worked in witness support and been a consultant for the Gender and Children's Unit at the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
​
I believe in everyone’s potential to develop well-being and healthy relationships. We have great inner resources for healing and for growth. Together, we will work towards bringing awareness to the issues that have been standing in the way of you living a fuller life.

Individual counselling
Therapy can help anyone who is having trouble coping with anxiety, low-mood, or with problems at work or in their relationships.
I offer individual therapy that facilitates your personal growth, development, and self understanding, and helps you to adopt constructive life practices.
Couples counselling
If you are a couple struggling with communication problems and emotional distancing, couples therapy can help you.
I offer practical therapy (Gottman Method and Emotion Focussed Therapy or EFT) that helps couples learn how to keep conflict discussions calm, to break out of habits that lead to conflict, to generate greater understanding and to increase respect, affection and closeness.
