About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a BACP counsellor offering online therapy from the United Kingdom. She focuses on anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship strains, and she also helps people coping with grief, trauma and life changes. Her style is calm and direct so parents can quickly see how sessions run.
Elizabeth builds therapy around a warm, non-judgemental relationship. She aims to make sessions feel safe and steady so people can talk honestly about what worries them.
Background and approach
That steady relationship is practical - it helps to spot patterns and try new ways of responding. She blends practical tools with reflective work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-led choices when emotions feel overwhelming. Client-Centred and psychodynamic ideas guide how past experiences shape present reactions. In sessions she focuses on everyday steps that fit into a busy life.
That might be short experiments to test a fear, breathing or pacing tools for anxiety, or questions that shift how someone sees a problem. Work is paced to suit each person and repeated when needed to build confidence. Elizabeth has nine years of experience working online and with a wide range of concerns.
She accepts international clients and runs sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit them.
How Elizabeth blends approaches for online therapy
Elizabeth commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT often helps reduce panic, phobias, sleep problems and persistent worry by practising alternatives in everyday situations.
Client-Centred Therapy shapes how sessions feel, with empathy and listening at the core so people can explore feelings and past experiences at their own pace. That steady tone supports work on trauma, relationships and self-esteem.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide what to try first based on someone’s goals, preferences and how they respond. Plans are reviewed and adjusted over time so the work stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life, work and travel.
