Description

Harness Coaching CIC offers face to face Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Coaching that is outside and can be combined with Equine Facilitated Coaching sessions if needed. We have a yard with a small herd of horses in Bramshall, Uttoxeter and we can meet up with you if you prefer to do a Walk & Talk session they can be any where suitable thats closer to you.

Our aim is to help people cope better with life and what it throws at us by building greater self awareness, self-confidence and resilience. We specialise in helping people manage stress more effectively by developing practical tools they can use in all areas of their life. Stress is a part of life and understanding what is going on physically, when we feel anxious, can help us find our own ways of de-stressing and letting go of the unhelpful thinking we have over situations we often can't control.

We understand that many people are struggling with different types of neurodiversity as well and may find the changes in their life overwhelming. to deal with when others find them exciting. Asking for help is the start to taking control and feeling better.

We offer Walk & Talk sessions at a suitable local venue. These sessions are a very effective for people who are feeling stressed & anxious or depressed who want a safe place to off load their concerns. They combine being out in the fresh air gaining a greater self awareness of the body and brain connections that can lead to sustainable, long term change.

We also run Equine Facilitated Coaching sessions at Uttoxeter, Staffordshire yard. These provide a fantastic experience of how we can learn to find a sense of inner calm that we all need before we tackle anything difficult. We have many families who have children with Learning Difficulites like ADHD or ASD who find these sessions really helpful in learning how they can best support their child and gain support for them and the siblings.

I am a Chartered Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS), Associate Fellow. Im also Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCCP). I am a CBT Stress Management Coach and a LEAP (EFL) Equine Facilitated Learning Senior Practitioner. I have been chartered since 2009 and worked in helping businesses for the last 10 years including Senior Leadership Teams and individual development coaching in the workplace to help reduce stress and mental health issues.

My son has been attending weekly sessions with Lizz for around 9 months now with very good progress. Lizz has not only helped us figure out coping mechanisms to ease his anxiety’s and gave us the tools to deal with the school for some additional support. We were also guided by Lizz to seek an ASD assessment which we are currently waiting for. With addition to the above whenever we have needed any guidance Lizz has been there on the phone to advise how to best deal with the situation. Our son’s wellbeing and anxiety are manageable now thanks to Harness coaching. I cannot recommend this service enough.

Working with Lizz really helped me to understand how I was feeling and ways in which I could control my thoughts and anxiety. There was no pressure to do things in any set way and the approach was always about getting the most out of the support for me personally. Meetings were never rushed and Lizz really took the time to listen. I would definitely recommend Lizz to anyone who is struggling.

I initially contacted Harness following my son showing signs of extremely high anxiety around school and in social situations. We were at a loss with how we could support our son who had just began in year 4. After some sessions with Lizz she helped us identify that our son was most probably autistic. After having this confirmed a year or so later this knowledge helped us not only seek an official diagnosis but helped us to understand our sons needs and more importantly use the recommendations from Lizz to apply in school. I cannot stress enough how much these recommendations helped us negotiate with the school to get our son the reasonable adjustments required to reduce his anxiety, tap into his strengths and ultimately make his life a lot more manageable around his triggers and anxiety. The sessions at Harness have been so valuable to our son’s progress and have given him the ability to function so much better at school and in many other environments. I would not hesitate to recommend the services provided here and so well done through the use of the equine facilities.

We are so glad we found Lizz through this platform. she has been amazing with our son and over the coarse of a few sessions we have seen a marked improvement in him .He loves the sessions and especially the interaction with the horses. He was suffering with terrible anxiety and whilst I don't think this ever goes away, he has learnt coping mechanisms to deal with it. It was, and continues to be, exactly what we were after. Lizz has been a massive help with interaction with his school and we cannot praise her highly enough.
