Elizabeth Johnson, BACP

Person-centred approaches and online therapy

Elizabeth primarily works in a person-centred way, which means listening closely and responding to what each person says. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood to feel heard and to identify what they want to change. It places the client's perspective at the centre of the work and supports steady progress.

Alongside person-centred work, Elizabeth draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support coping and emotional regulation. These techniques involve practical exercises and conversational tools to reduce anxiety, manage upsetting memories related to trauma, and build self-esteem. They help people practise new ways of responding between sessions and notice small improvements over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can be easier when internet speed is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
