Have never used Liz as a therapist. If I do need help she’d be my first choice simply because of the volunteer work she does with Crisis. Every xmas she’s at the shelters helping out and using her skills to change the lives of people on the streets. More...

I took part in some CPD this evening where Liz was doing a talk about alcohol and addiction to a group of therapists. Her knowledge was amazing, not only will it aid me when working with client, but also on a personal level to have more understanding, especially around alcohol and it affects on our bodies. Liz was very clear speaking and also very natural, which was refreshing. Her teaching style was relaxed, but very informative. She gave examples and also had a few slides, not too many that you got boarded, just enough that it helped guide you through her talk. Thank you Liz, I have learned lots from this evenings talk that will help me in the therapy room and also made me aware of much more on a personal level for when our boys begin drinking. More...

I have been fortunate enough to book Liz for several ad hoc sessions when I felt I needed the special Liz magic. When you come into a session you are welcomed with the warmest of smiles, the calmest of atmospheres and the most understanding, non judgemental ear you could wish for. So good was Liz that I also recommended my partner to her and he went on to have several sessions with Liz having NEVER trusted anyone before. I can honestly say with absolute confidence that you are not only in safe hands with Liz, but therapeutically the best hands. Liz's knowledge, experience and understanding is exceptional and I know that she is only a booking away should I need her in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolute 5* therapist! More...

Liz is amazing! I want to think of a better word than amazing... I'm going with magical. She has helped me on numerous occasions when it comes to the stresses that life throws at you. A time when I was having terrible anxiety and stress levels, she helped me get to a place I could feel like I could get through my day. I've never ever had any sort of hypnotherapy before and was totally sceptical at first. Didn't believe it would work. But... it did! Not only the hypnotherapy side. But her knowledge of how our brains work is just phenomenal. I've learned so much about myself and why I put things in boxes. I've learned when it's ok to do this and when it's not. I've now got tools I can use when I need them. She is magical! Thank you Liz for being you and everything that you do. More...

Liz's 5 Day Positive Bursts have been invaluable during these lock-down times. Being aable to reframe my thinking and have clear objectives to achieve for my own wellbeing have helped me to get my anxiety back in check and build together a positive plan for the next few weeks/months. Thank you Liz!

After suffering with insomnia for many years I had a session with Liz who made me feel relaxed and used hypnotherapy techniques to address my insomnia. I have been very pleasantly surprised as I have been able to go to sleep without tossing and turning for hours and getting a good nights sleep. More...

I went to Liz with a personal problem that was keeping me, what felt like, in chains. Having been in this dark place for over 8 months, it felt such a release to REALLY talk about what I had been going through & how I had been feeling. It’s a very relaxed environment & I felt fully comfortable talking about this with her, she was extremely understanding. And amazingly, a day after my session with her & I’m feeling like I’ve really let go of the things I needed to. It’s like I’m finally seeing clearly & can get back to focusing on myself & the person I want to be. I highly recommend Liz! More...

Had a session with Liz this week, I walked into her office with so much stress, anger and pain but I couldn’t pinpoint why I felt this way. After talking and some hypnotherapy I walked out of her office lighter and my head a bit more clearer. Liz was professional yet understanding and made me feel at ease, looking forward to more sessions....Thanks Liz x More...

I highly recommend Liz. I had the pleasure of having a 121 with Liz to help lift my spirits back up and get my motivation back, and Liz was such a pleasure to work with. She took me through a very relaxing guided hypnotherapy mediation and helped me to tune back into my purpose in a very nurturing and reassuring way. I’ve had hypnotherapy in the past, but a very long time ago, and found it didn’t work for me at all, probably down to my mindset more then anything, but I’m so glad I met Liz who helped me to change my opinion. Thank you so much Liz More...

After completing a 5-session course with Liz (consisting of both BWRT and Hypnosis) I have found the strength and willpower to withdraw from my anti depressants. We worked on a few issues and I am amazed and so happy with how I now feel. My mind is clearer, I am happier, more positive and am now able to deal with situations without feeling like my world was ending. Liz is my new anti depressant. Thanks so much Liz ????????????

I had a recent session with Liz focusing on my future goals and on some areas where I felt I lacked confidence. She helped me to clarify in my mind what my priorities were. Liz had tremendous energy and enthusiasm and was very skilled at pinning me down to commitment, so I came out of the session with a definite plan of action.The result was that after a week, I had moved forward with some things I've been putting off for years! Feels great, and looking forward to doing more. I would definitely use Liz's services again and would happily recommend her to others. More...

I had a few sessions with Liz to finally get rid of the habit of drinking wine every evening and also my sweet tooth. I have got to the stage in my life when I want to be in control of what I eat and drink and be the person I truly am. Well, after just one session I stopped wine and chocolate and have certainly not felt the need for wine, despite going out with others who are drinking. Had a few tempted moments with the chocolate but still haven't succumbed! Have finished my sessions for now but know I can always come back for a top up if resolve should weaken.Liz really knows her stuff, has many different techniques up her sleeve and I highly recommend her.

Liz is very focused and professional, with many tools in her toolkit and a lot of experience. She is also kind hearted and puts you at ease straight away. She explains everything really well and offers tips and suggestions you can use yourself in between sessions. I worked with Liz over Skype for 4 sessions and it was exactly what was needed at that point in my life to make a difference. I would wholeheartedly recommend getting in touch with Liz to help with any issues you may have, you won’t regret it! More...

I would highly recommend Liz after she successfully treated my daughter who had a severe dog phobia which was dominating her life. After just one session of BWRT with Liz, she was confident to walk past dogs, stroke dogs and generally not worry about them at all. Two years later she is still fine. Liz was friendly and put her at her ease. Thank you. More...

Reply from Liz Sharpe - Live your Life Therapies
Hello Karen. Thank you for using Live your Life Therapies :)
What do you love most about your job?
Watching positive change happen usually in just 1 - 4 sessions. Knowing I helped it happen! Helping someone get from A to B.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have worked in community mental health for 20 years, managing services for people living in the community. I have always wanted to be a full time therapist since becoming a counsellor in 2002 - one day, decided that i have to follow my dream. I went self employed in July 16, and now have my own full time practice and therapy rooms in Westcliff.
Why should our clients choose you?
"From the bottom of my heart - thank you. I haven't smoked for 3 days and am quietly confident that I have become a non smoker!! Thank you!"
"Liz is incredible at what she does; one session and I have found a massive improvement! She was lovely to chat to and easy to get on with and certainly knew her stuff. I felt confident in her abilities and comfortable working with her. I cannot recommend her highly enough!"
'I didn't know how bad I was feeling until i started feeling good. Thank you.'
"Liz is a intuitive and sensitive practitioner. She recently helped me overcome a fear of driving following a car accident. She was excellent and tailored the car treatment to my own specific needs. As a therapist myself, I highly recommend Liz – we are so lucky to have her experience and wisdom in the profession"
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Online using zoom or whats app video. I'll send you a link and we can meet for the session when you are at work or at home. So long as you have a comfortable place with good internet access, then it works just as well.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Sessions can be online or in Southend, which you can swap with 2 hours notice. I have a COVID risk assessment in place which means that the latest guidance is followed. Glad to be out of lockdown however I still want you to feel comfortable within the session.
Free consultation
Book in for a free 15 - 30 minute consultation so that we can see how I can help you. No obligation to book in sessions - takes place by zoom or phone call.
Addiction Coaching
Let's have a relaxed conversation where we talk about your current relationship with drinking. What does your life look like right now and what would you like it to look like?
I give you ways to cut down your alcohol consumption - without feeling like you're cutting down. I have a number of tricks in my toolbox and I choose the right ones that work for you. Sometimes there's a healing aspect to this - as a qualified therapist, I help you heal any of the traumas that can lead to increased drinking (eg bereavement, relationship breakdowns, work stress etc).
Then let's Cement The Life You Want: Now you know which of your new strategies you want to keep and which you don't (there's an experimentation aspect to this). At this stage, I show you advanced resilience strategies to guarantee you don't fall back into your old ways and you can enjoy the new you - someone who can still enjoy a drink, but without feeling constantly pulled down by it.
If you aren't looking for full coaching, maybe consider booking a power session with me!
A one off focussed session for £97 - where we drill down into what is happening with you and booze - and set some strategies on what changes you can make. Understand it and it becomes easier to decide what direction you want to take.
