About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Burgess is a counsellor with more than a decade of experience in the UK. She holds BACP accreditation and has spent 13 years helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or loss. She aims to make the first step easier for anyone unsure about reaching out.
Her sessions focus on listening without judgement and building a trusting connection. She encourages clear, simple goals so conversations lead to practical changes.
Background and approach
People often start work together around worry, low mood, past trauma, grief, self-esteem or big life changes. Elizabeth uses an attachment-based approach to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That can help when anxious thinking, avoidance or difficulties trusting others get in the way of daily life.
She also has experience supporting people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns. Her style is calm and straightforward. She works at a pace set by the client and checks in about what is helpful.
Sessions include talking things through, reflecting on patterns and trying out different ways of managing distress. Practical arrangements are handled simply. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and international clients are accepted.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and booking step put people in touch and set the first appointment.
Attachment-informed counselling delivered online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of thinking and feeling. It helps people understand why they might respond to stress or relationships in certain ways and supports learning new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and isolation.In online sessions Elizabeth will work with clients to identify what feels most useful. She approaches this collaboratively, discussing goals and trying methods that match each person's needs and preferences. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process and can change as therapy progresses.
Online work is offered by video call, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact easier around busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls suit people who need lower bandwidth, and short check-ins by chat or text can fit into a lunch break or a busy day. These options aim to give flexibility while keeping the focus on steady progress.
