Background and approach

She has also provided in-person support for NHS staff at St. Mary’s Hospital and volunteered with a charity offering face-to-face listening to people in extreme distress. These roles shaped her practical understanding of crisis, identity and trauma-related difficulties.

Elizabeth combines psychodynamic, existential and client-centred ideas to suit each person she meets. Sessions are collaborative: she listens to your story and adjusts the way she works to match your needs. That might mean focusing on patterns from the past or using present-focused techniques to manage difficult feelings.

She pays attention to the mind-body connection and brings an interest in somatic practices from her background in yoga. This can help when emotional distress shows up as physical tension or sleep disruption. People often come for help with relationships, self-esteem, addiction or life changes.

Elizabeth also supports those dealing with identity and LGBT concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She aims to make therapy clear and practical, helping clients find more choices and clearer next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Elizabeth commonly draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to your experience so you feel heard and understood; it suits issues about self-esteem, identity and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, phobias and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss what feels most helpful and tailor sessions to your goals and preferences. You decide whether to explore past patterns, try active exercises or mix approaches, and she will adapt as you progress.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments and let therapists and clients keep continuity when meeting in person is difficult.
