Background and approach

She has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those wanting to understand themselves better. Her background includes work with grief, self-esteem, bipolar and depression, and she supports people facing major life changes. In sessions she focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and on practical steps that fit each person’s life.

She treats the person as the expert in their story and helps them use their strengths to manage difficulties such as anger, impulsivity and communication problems. Elizabeth also offers guidance around attachment, intimacy and commitment worries. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Elizabeth offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Sessions are conducted in English and are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Elizabeth aims to work collaboratively to set goals and find approaches that feel realistic and useful.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make changes. One approach she uses focuses on understanding patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it helps people notice and change unhelpful responses. Another approach she draws on addresses past trauma and how it affects current relationships and coping, helping people process difficult experiences and build new strategies for safety and connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to identify their goals, tries methods that suit those goals, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. She aims to explain techniques in plain language and to involve clients in choosing what feels most useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or chat offer flexibility for people who prefer to write or need support between calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or daily routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
