About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook offers calm, steady support for people facing a wide range of life challenges. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping clients talk through stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. Liz aims to create a space where someone can say what they need to say and begin to make small, clear changes.
Liz trained as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Elizabeth works
She has 12 years of experience providing one-to-one therapy and draws on two decades of earlier work in social care supporting people with disabilities and their families. That background shaped her understanding of how illness and long-term conditions affect everyday life.
Her main therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Sessions also reflect a person-centred stance, with an emphasis on the client's own strengths and goals. New clients are given time at the start to explain their situation and what they hope to change.
Liz works with many common concerns including depression, addictions, compassion fatigue, bipolar and relationship or family difficulties. She also addresses areas such as parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are available in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How CBT and person-centred work online
CBT helps people spot patterns in their thoughts and change small behaviours that keep problems going. Online CBT sessions break tasks into short, practical steps such as testing a worry, trying a different response, and reviewing what helped. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties.Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and noticing a person's strengths. The therapist offers space for someone to talk through painful feelings and decide what direction to take. That style supports work on grief, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. Sessions can mix CBT tasks with a person-centred tone so the work fits the individual's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, while phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving and busy lives.
