About Lizzie
Lizzie Hayes is a counsellor with NCPS and 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. Lizzie aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly and begin to make small, manageable changes.
She works in straightforward language and keeps sessions practical. Conversations often look at what is happening now and what simple steps might help. That can mean learning ways to reduce panic, managing overwhelming emotions, or finding routines that ease persistent worry.
Background and approach
Lizzie also supports people working through attachment and abandonment issues, body image concerns, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present choices and relationships. Sessions explore patterns and test new ways of responding in day-to-day life.
People bring many different stresses, from midlife transitions to loss and loneliness. Lizzie helps with communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and finding purpose. She also offers support for panic attacks and post-traumatic stress symptoms when these arise.
Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Lizzie explains things clearly and helps set practical goals. She welcomes conversations in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and stress support
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people learn breathing and grounding strategies, and then practise them during moments of panic or high anxiety. This teaches quick ways to reduce immediate distress and regain control.A second approach looks at patterns that sustain worry or low mood. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and trying new behaviours that lead to different outcomes. That method is useful for ongoing anxiety, low mood and rumination.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree on methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted if something is not helpful.
Online sessions can fit around busy lives. Video calls are close to a face-to-face meeting, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and practise new skills between sessions.
