Maureen Elliott
Psychodynamic Therapist
Are you feeling lost, anxious and full of fear. I totally understand where you are at. Having someone listen to you in therapy and help you understand why you are feeling the way you're feeling can be a major breakthrough. It can offer you the freedom to make good decisions.
I can help you to see past your fears and I will treat you with respect at all times, maybe this is something you haven’t felt much in the past, so let’s start today by giving you a voice.
You may be suffering with anxiety or the loss of a loved one. You may be facing other major life changes and don’t know who to turn to. I will listen to you in a non-judgemental way. If you are struggling with something, you can talk to me and I can gently support you to explore it further.
I understand how difficult it can be especially coming to see a therapist for the first time, I will ensure you are fully supported and accepted. With my empathic warm approach I can give you a safe secure place where you can feel truly heard. I will respect you as an individual and help you find a solution to your issues.
I will work with you to help you to gain awareness and confidence, you are not alone, I will support you on your journey.
Feel free to call me for a free no obligation chat.
We can discuss the problems that you want help with, the counselling service that I provide and any questions you may have. This initial session will last for 50 minutes as will subsequent sessions. I look forward to working with you

Testimonials
Natalie/Belper
I can highly recommend maureen elliot at the cottage project , she's really empathic and pragmatic in her approach . She is also a very patient therapist . I believe I found her through the BACP website. I had seen about 10 therapists before her in a 27 year span and she has been the best one I've ever had for my needs

Maureen dragged me from a really dark place and helped me to see there was a way forward. I can’t thank her enough, her kindness and patience saved me.
I wouldn’t hesitate to call her if I ever went down that dark hole again.

Just like to say that Maureen helped my daughter when she was having problems at school, she’s such a lovely person and with my daughter being Neurodiverse she was especially helpful and knew how to deal with her as it certainly wasn’t easy. I wouldn’t hesitate recommend her especially if you have an autistic child. Thanks.

From the minute I spoke to Mo she never once referred to me as female, I’m trans. There was an especially kind person centred aura about her. She helped me so much and I still see her occasionally if I’m struggling with my identity. Cheers.
