About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cockram is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with people who are anxious, stressed, grieving, struggling with relationships, or adjusting to big life changes. Libby also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, and issues around intimacy and attachment.
She uses a straightforward, conversational approach in sessions. Many clients come wanting practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people notice small changes that make life easier. Her background includes work for Social Services and the NHS, and running a independent practice. That range of settings shaped her approach to relationship work and individual therapy.
She has experience with couples and individuals and with a wide variety of concerns such as phobias, OCD, ADHD and bipolar mood difficulties. Elizabeth draws on several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural methods, attachment-based thinking and client-centred work. She also uses mindfulness techniques and relationship tools from the Gottman method when relevant.
These are woven together to match each person's situation rather than follow a single formula. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Goals, coping strategies and communication skills are developed at a comfortable pace.
People often come away with clearer ways to manage symptoms, address conflict, and rebuild trust in themselves and their relationships.
How Elizabeth blends therapeutic approaches for online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to partners and family, and it is useful for intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, which suits people who need a supportive space to talk things through.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical tools to manage anxiety, phobias, mood swings and unhelpful routines through small experiments and new skills.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video suits longer discussions and relationship work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat allows shorter check-ins and text messaging helps with quick reflections between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
