About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie offers calm, steady support for people facing a wide range of concerns. She specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. Elizabeth also works with issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, career worries, bipolar and depression.
She brings a warm, non-judgemental approach to each session. Elizabeth keeps sessions focused on what matters to the individual. She listens first, then helps people find practical ways to manage difficult feelings and situations.
How Elizabeth works
Conversations aim to help people feel heard and to build self-acceptance so change can start to happen. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the person attending. Her background includes three years of clinical work and experience in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence.
That work shaped her awareness of how rare it can be to feel truly listened to, and she carries that attention into every appointment. Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches to match different needs. She draws on client-centred methods that centre the person, cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle unhelpful thinking and trauma-focused work when past experiences are impacting the present.
She also uses psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques when these fit the goal. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Elizabeth holds BACP accreditation.
She works from the United Kingdom and has three years' experience supporting a wide range of concerns.

How Elizabeth’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for building self-acceptance and confidence when life feels overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how they interact. Sessions often include practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change unhelpful patterns. CBT can suit people who want clear strategies and short-term goals.
Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past distressing events and on reducing their hold over day-to-day life. The work is paced and aimed at helping someone feel more able to cope with memories, triggers and emotional flashpoints.
Finding the right way to work is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different approaches and tailor the plan to the person's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist review progress together and make adjustments as needed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let body language and facial cues be part of the conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make regular therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
