How Elizabeth works

She has eight years' experience across healthcare, education and charity settings, including emergency departments, rehabilitation, community health visiting and bereavement services. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Elizabeth draws on a range of therapeutic methods to suit individual needs, including attachment-focused ideas, emotionally focused work and approaches that foster acceptance and valued living.
She aims to help people increase self-awareness and find clearer direction in life. Practical issues such as sleep, eating, parenting pressures, workplace stress and grief are all within her remit.

Online support options
Relational approaches and online therapy
Elizabeth commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match personal values - this can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect adult interactions and helps people develop different, healthier ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor the work so it fits your day-to-day life and what you want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you use non-verbal cues and longer conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
