About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cockram offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or life changes. She introduces straightforward ways to manage difficult feelings and to improve communication. Her style is gentle and collaborative, aimed at helping each person find what works for them.
Elizabeth holds a BACP credential and has 15 years of counselling experience in the UK. Over her career she has worked in a range of settings including social services, the NHS, and independent practice.
How Elizabeth works
That background means she is used to helping with a wide mix of issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar. She also supports concerns around intimacy, attachment, adoption and foster care, and complex relational patterns including blended families and codependency.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, the Gottman method for relationship communication, and mindfulness. Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth, using conversation, reflection and simple exercises to try out between meetings. Elizabeth adapts what she uses to fit each person’s needs.
People can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence in sessions and clear suggestions to try outside therapy. She also offers coaching-style input when helpful, for example around coping strategies and life transitions. Elizabeth accepts international clients and offers online and phone formats to increase flexibility.
To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The process is straightforward and geared towards finding a workable plan together.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports change in how they connect with others. Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the session and relies on listening, empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is more structured and works on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they choose which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can change over time as needs evolve.
Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls recreate a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives and to continue work while travelling or relocating. Registered and accredited professionals, including therapists who use these methods, commonly offer online sessions to increase access and flexibility.
