Dr Elizabeth Aderanti, Clinical Psychologist

About me

Over the years, I have worked with adults across the NHS and voluntary sector, supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration. I believe that we are witnessed through the eyes of others; in authentic witnessing, our humanity and wholeness is seen; and healing happens through connection, authenticity and shared humanity.

My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive and culturally responsive framework. I understand that emotional wellbeing is shaped by more than personal experience; it is shaped by the wider social, cultural and systemic contexts in which we live. Experiences such as racial injustice, discrimination, cultural expectations and socioeconomic disadvantage can all shape how we see ourselves and move through the world. These experiences deserve to be acknowledged in therapy, not overlooked. I bring a personal understanding of this to my work, and I strive to create a space where the richness and complexity of your identity is welcomed and respected, where you can bring your whole self into the room, without fear of judgement or dismissal.

My approach is integrative and tailored to you. I draw on a range of therapies, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and systemic approaches, I adapt my approach to reflect your goals, values and lived experience.

I have extensive experience supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression and psychosis-related disorders, as well as those navigating relationship difficulties and significant life transitions.

I believe that therapy is not simply about reducing distress, but also about helping people reconnect with themselves, their values and their relationships — so they can move forward with greater clarity, self-compassion and authenticity. Together, in the therapeutic space, we will work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, we will build on your strengths and explore new ways of responding to life's challenges.
