About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Duffy offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She writes simply and listens carefully. Her aim is to help people take small steps that make daily life easier and more manageable.
She uses a conversational, non-judgemental style. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what would be helpful next. People can expect clear, direct talk about worries, habits, relationships and mood, with attention to practical coping strategies.
Background and approach
Elizabeth draws on 17 years of experience, working with issues such as addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and anger. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy worries, workplace stress and career decisions. Her background includes work with conditions such as ADHD, bipolar difficulties and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Her approach combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also uses emotionally focused ideas and motivational interviewing when helpful to explore feelings and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients.
Elizabeth encourages a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.
Practical therapy approaches for online support
Elizabeth commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person find their own path; it is useful for building trust and exploring feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and helps people try small changes to see what works for reducing anxiety and improving mood.She also draws on emotionally focused ideas and motivational interviewing when helpful. Emotionally focused work helps people notice and name core emotions that drive behaviour, while motivational interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring mixed feelings and strengthening commitment. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, note-taking or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel and daily routines.
