Elizabeth Adamson Psychotherapy

Elizabeth Adamson Psychotherapy BA(Hons), MSc Psychology, GMBPsS I was born in Canada and immigrated to England when I was 21 years old. That was 27 years ago!

Since then, I have worked as an HR Admin Manager with Marks and Spencer before deciding on a career change into the realm of Psychology. I have a BA(Hons) in Development, Education, and Society as well as a MSc in Psychology. I have been working young people both on a voluntary and self-employed basis for over 7 years. Throughout this time, I have learned, adapted, and built on my skills to support young people with positive and rewarding results. In 2022, I started my own private practice at Brixham Town Hall working with young people as well as adults (from 9 years old up to 86 years old!) and enjoy helping others understand and improve their emotional and mental wellbeing, something I am wholeheartedly passionate about. After one year of meeting clients face to face, I have decided to shift to sole online contact. My first session is always free as I believe it is important to allow time to explore whether what I have to offer is suitable for clients.

One of the biggest things attendees often say after Wired for Better is that they feel more in control.

More aware of their stress.
More able to pause before reacting.
More able to recognise what they need and respond differently.

Small shifts can make such a big difference.

Wired for Better is a 6-week programme designed to help you move out of survival mode, regulate your nervous system, and build more confidence in stressful moments.

📍 Paignton
🗓 Starts 21st April

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or burnt out, this could be a really supportive place to start.

Building self-trust is often done in the quiet moments.

The mornings where you wake up feeling a bit sad, flat or emotional without fully understanding why.

One of the most important things we can build is interoception — our ability to notice what is happening inside of us. To recognise the difference between “I need rest” and “I need movement.” Between “I need to slow down” and “I need to get out of my head.”

This morning, I woke up feeling sad. Part of me wanted to stay in that feeling, but another part of me knew that movement was what I needed most.

So I took myself to the gym.

Not because I forced myself. Not because I ignored how I felt. But because I listened closely enough to know what would support me best in that moment.

And I felt better for it.

Building self-trust is not about getting it right all the time. It’s about learning to hear yourself more clearly and responding with what you genuinely need. 🤍✨

If this resonates, share, like or repost — someone else might need the reminder today.

Wired for Better programme runs from 21st April for 6 weeks | Tuesday’s 7-8pm | Paignton. Follow for more on nervous system regulation, self-trust and building resilience.

Growth doesn’t always look like huge life changes.

Sometimes it’s noticing your stress sooner.
Sometimes it’s saying no.
Sometimes it’s staying calmer in situations that used to overwhelm you.
Sometimes it’s simply feeling more like yourself again.

Increasing in ourselves happens in lots of different ways ✨

This is the kind of shift we work towards.

Not getting rid of stress completely…
but having more moments where you can pause, make sense of it, and come back to yourself.

It makes a bigger difference than people realise 🤍

24/03/2026

Most people don’t need more willpower.
They need space between the trigger… and the response.

That’s what we focus on.

Not forcing change.
Not pushing through.

Learning how to step back,
make sense of what’s happening,
and come back to a steadier place.

This is what one attendee shared after the programme:
“I can step back, rationalise… and recover.”

Small shifts like this change everything over time.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly reacting…
this is exactly the work we do.

📍 Paignton (Devon Clinic)
🗓 Starts 21st April | 7:00pm (6-week programme)

Message me “W4B” if you’d like more details or a space 🤍

6 x 5⭐ reviews… but this is what actually matters 👇

One of the biggest shifts from the last Wired for Better group?

Someone went from being signed off work…
to being back at work.

Not because life suddenly got easier.
But because something inside them changed.

They started noticing their stress earlier.
They understood what was happening in their body.
And instead of getting pulled under it…
they could pause, respond, and recover.

That’s the work.

Not perfection.
Not “fixing” yourself.
Just learning how to stay with yourself through it.

This is what I care about when I run these groups.
Real-life change.
The kind you can actually take back into your day-to-day.

You always had the capacity —
you’re just tapping into it now.

I’ve been reflecting on this recently…
One of the attendees from Wired for Better has returned to work after being signed off.

This is exactly why I created the programme — not to “fix” people, but to help them reconnect with what’s already there.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’ve lost your footing a bit… this might be for you.

Happy to share details if anyone’s curious 😊

Sometimes the impact of this work isn’t loud.
It’s quiet. It’s steady. It shows up in real life.

A month after the last Wired for Better programme ended, I’m still receiving messages like this…

Someone who had been signed off work
→ now back at work
→ feeling more positive
→ experiencing a real shift in themselves

And this is exactly why I do this.

Wired for Better isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you recognise what’s already there — and building the kind of self-trust that lasts beyond the room.

Because real change isn’t what happens in the session.
It’s what happens after.

The moments where you respond differently
The moments where you stay
The moments where you trust yourself

You always had the capacity — you’re just tapping into it now.

Next Wired for Better programme starts in April (Paignton, Devon clinic)
If you’re curious, feel free to message me 😊

Have you ever felt like you know what you should do to feel better…
but in the moment, stress, habits, or old patterns take over?

You’re not alone.

Wired for Better is a small-group psychology, wellbeing, and resilience programme designed to help you understand how your mind and nervous system actually work — and how to work with them, not against them.

Over six weeks we explore practical ways to:
• Understand stress and your nervous system
• Recognise patterns and triggers
• Build emotional resilience
• Strengthen self-belief and self-trust
• Create lasting change in how you respond to life

This isn’t about putting people on the spot or sharing more than feels comfortable.
Many people simply value having the space to learn, reflect, and grow alongside others.

Programme details:
📍 Devon Clinic, Paignton
📅 Starts Tuesday 21st April
🕖 19:00–20:00
💷 £110 for the full 6-week programme
(2 reduced-rate spaces available) Places are intentionally limited to keep the group small and supportive, so early enquiries are recommended.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to invest in yourself this year, this could be the place to start.

Message me if you’d like more information or to reserve a place.

One of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn…
is listening to my body sooner.

For years I struggled badly with my back.
Pain that would stop me in my tracks.
Medication that felt like the only option.
And a lot of frustration directed at my own body for “letting me down.”

What I understand now — and what I often share with others — is that the body isn’t the enemy.

It communicates.

Sometimes gently.
Sometimes persistently.
And sometimes loudly when we’ve missed the earlier whispers.

The last couple of weeks I’ve been pushing hard — work, driving, life, the gym.
And today my body reminded me to pause.

The old version of me would have been annoyed with myself.
Why didn’t you stop sooner?
Why didn’t you listen?

But growth doesn’t mean we always get it right.
It means we learn to respond differently when we notice.

So today I’m practicing something I talk about often — being perfectly imperfect.

Listening.
Resting.
Showing the same kindness to my own body that I offer to others.

Because the truth is, I’m incredibly grateful.

Grateful that my body is strong.
Grateful that I’ve been medication-free for years.
Grateful that I’ve learned to hear the signals earlier.

This is at the heart of the work I explore through Wired for Better — learning to understand the body’s signals and respond with awareness rather than harshness.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You just have to be willing to listen.

What has your body been trying to tell you lately?

05/03/2026

Strength isn’t always loud. 🐅

Sometimes it looks like this.

A tiger pauses at the water’s edge.
No rush.
No proving.
Just restoring.

Even the strongest creatures understand something many of us forget:

Recovery is part of resilience.

We often push through stress, pressure and exhaustion thinking that’s strength.

But real resilience is built through cycles of effort and restoration.

Choose your hard.

Burnout is hard.
Listening to your body and pausing is also hard.

But only one of those choices protects your capacity long term.

Sometimes power looks like action.
Sometimes power looks like pause.

If this resonates, share it with someone who might need the reminder and follow for more reflections like this.

And if you want to learn how to build a more resilient nervous system, my Wired for Better programme teaches the science and practice behind it. The Devon Clinic Paignton
