About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Burgess is a counsellor with 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP credentials, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Elizabeth focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and issues stemming from trauma and abuse.
She aims to make conversations straightforward and non-judgemental. In sessions she encourages people to speak openly about what matters to them.
How Elizabeth works
She also supports those facing life changes and those needing hospice or end-of-life counselling support. Elizabeth uses an attachment-based approach to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties are part of the problem.
She works to identify patterns and to try alternatives that feel safer and more manageable. Sessions tend to focus on practical ways to cope day to day as well as on understanding deeper roots of distress. Elizabeth helps people develop clearer ways to express needs and to regulate strong emotions.
The aim is to build small, steady steps that improve mood and confidence. People who prefer a calm, steady pace and an encouraging tone often find this style helpful. She accepts clients from the UK and internationally, and works in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Online support options
Attachment-informed care and flexible online sessions
Elizabeth uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when patterns of mistrust, avoidance or clinginess affect wellbeing, and it supports work on building more reliable ways of relating to others.In online work she translates attachment ideas into clear exercises and conversations. That can include noticing how people respond during stress, practising new ways to ask for what they need, and trying short exercises to calm strong emotions. These steps are practical and paced to each person's comfort level.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the work as things evolve. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change to fit real needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can fit around busy schedules or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity between sessions.
