I discovered Lismenary by googling, and attended my first session with some trepidation: however Elizabeth was immediately reassuring and realistic. She was capable and professional, but warm and very open to exploring and partnering me on a journey of recovery from voice difficulties. She was not rushed and was generous with her time and attention, always cognisant of my pace. In each session she was adaptable to whatever was most pressing for me and switched her agenda to match that. Flexiblity of approach and a willingness to explore other avenues always meant there was hope of putting a complicated jigsaw back together. There was order in my treatment which meant techniques were employed in an order which allowed for a progression with foundations. In her position as a Speech and Language Therapist and a Psychotherapist, Elizabeth was unique in her approach. It was not even matter of marrying the physical and psychological, it felt more like she did not separate them in the first place. This I found to be an extremely effective way of working.
