About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz offers a person-centred style of counselling that puts the client at the heart of each session. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people build inner resources for dealing with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long and run over a number of weeks or as the client prefers.
Liz works in plain, down-to-earth language and focuses on what the client needs in the moment.
Background and approach
She draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when they suit the person, and adapts the approach to how someone processes thoughts and feelings. This keeps sessions practical and grounded. She has experience supporting people through grief, bereavement and loss in its many forms.
That work covers the complicated, conflicting feelings that can follow a major life change or bereavement. Liz also has training in helping survivors of sexual and domestic abuse and uses trauma-focused ideas when appropriate. Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, sleeping problems and parenting stress.
Liz also supports people dealing with career change, chronic illness, caregiver strain and compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to help people discover coping strategies that fit their life. Liz is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP.
She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. She prefers a warm, empathic presence and helps clients explore their feelings at a pace that suits them.
Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience first and helps people lead sessions at their own pace. The counsellor offers empathy and a non-judgemental presence so clients can talk through what matters most to them. This approach supports issues like anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and relaxation practices clients can use between sessions. These tools can be helpful for stress, sleeping problems and managing anxious thoughts. Trauma-focused therapy provides ways to work with the impact of past trauma and abuse when that is part of a person’s story; techniques are introduced carefully and at the client’s pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will listen to the client’s concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
Online formats make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video calls allow eye contact and a fuller conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler, and live chat or text-based messaging offer quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options provide flexibility for different days and different needs, helping people access support around work, family or health commitments.
