About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She helps with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and the impact of trauma and abuse. Her practice also covers concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, addiction, anger, career questions and neurodivergent challenges like ADHD.
Elizabeth works with people who want practical ways to cope and to make small, meaningful changes. She keeps sessions centred on the person and their needs.
Background and approach
Conversations are calm and direct. She aims to build a clear, non‑judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored. Elizabeth uses approaches that help people make sense of patterns and try out different ways of coping.
Her background includes three years working in the counselling field and experience in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That work shaped her focus on listening closely and taking concerns seriously. Her practice is informed by those frontline experiences and by talking through what has helped others in similar situations.
Elizabeth is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom. Practical arrangements such as session format and how to begin are explained clearly so people can find a practical way to start.
People who choose to work with Elizabeth can expect a collaborative approach. She aims to help people develop greater self-acceptance and clearer choices. The emphasis is on noticing what works, trying new strategies and supporting change at a manageable pace.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the core of sessions. It focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own paths forward, which can fit well into conversation-led video or phone sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical exercises and strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for problems like anxiety, sleep issues and mood difficulties in online formats. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that shape current feelings; it can help people understand recurring relationship or self-worth problems through reflective dialogue.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. The choice of approach can change over time as needs and goals evolve, and she encourages open discussion about what is helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and facial cues during longer sessions. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simple option for check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, brief check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
