About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton uses a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She combines talking therapy with active, everyday strategies to help people manage relationships, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety. Lizz has four years of professional experience and practises in the United Kingdom.
She holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP on her profile. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and down to earth. She encourages people to say what matters to them and looks at small, achievable steps to improve day-to-day life.
How Elizabeth works
That can mean learning ways to manage stress, improving sleep habits, or finding clearer ways to talk about intimacy and relationship concerns. Lizz draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current difficulties.
Mindfulness and client-centred principles guide sessions so people feel heard and respected. Her practice supports people dealing with parenting strain, family problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she can address include chronic pain and illness, ageing-related concerns, communication problems, and issues linked to autism or attachment styles.
She also helps with anger, feelings of emptiness, and separation or divorce transitions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Lizz works to make therapeutic goals practical and relevant to everyday life, helping people take the small steps that lead to lasting change.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can use ACT to focus on everyday choices, such as how to respond to stress or rebuild connection after separation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns. In remote sessions CBT often includes homework tasks and short exercises to try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and closeness. Used online, it can help people recognise their attachment style and practise new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring and together you will choose or blend methods that fit. That collaborative planning means sessions remain focused and relevant to your day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction from wherever you are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping the focus on progress rather than logistics.
