About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kinsey-James offers calm, supportive therapy for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or grief. She introduces herself simply as Liz and keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth. Conversations are paced gently so clients can speak at their own speed and feel heard.
Liz uses a relational way of working that puts the connection between client and counsellor first. She draws on client-centred principles to encourage self-understanding and on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings.
How Elizabeth works
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when practical strategies for thoughts and behaviours are helpful. She trained in London and has four years of professional experience. Her credential is BACP, which is listed as BACP.
Much of her work has been carried out online, alongside clinic and counselling service settings. People bring many concerns to sessions, including depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, parenting stress, career difficulties and issues around self-esteem or intimacy. Liz also addresses specific areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment and carer stress.
She aims to match her approach to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, clients use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on providing acceptance, empathy and non-judgemental listening so people can find their own solutions; online sessions give space for that same respectful, paced conversation. Psychodynamic work looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns; in video or phone sessions clients and counsellor can reflect on long-standing themes and relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be used in short exercises during a session or as tasks between meetings.Choosing the right approach is often a joint process. The counsellor will explore what matters most to the client and suggest methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as priorities shift or practical needs emerge.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options support flexibility and accessibility while keeping the focus on progress and practical support.
