About Liz
Liz Elshaw is a UK counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD and related concerns. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. Liz aims to help people take the first small steps toward feeling more able and hopeful again.
In sessions she listens closely and works at the client’s pace. She uses a mix of tried approaches to suit different needs, often focusing on clearer thinking, emotional connection, and practical goals.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to be straightforward and grounded in everyday life rather than technical language. Her background includes six years of professional therapeutic work in the United Kingdom. During that time she has supported people with motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and coping with loss.
She has also worked with neurodiverse clients, including people who have autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Liz describes her role as offering support and a steady presence while clients find what helps them most. She encourages practical steps that fit into daily routines and personal values.
Sessions are shaped by what each person wants to achieve and how they prefer to work. People meeting her can expect a warm, person-centred approach with a focus on building understanding and manageable change. Liz brings patience and practical suggestions, helping clients notice progress and tackle problems one step at a time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes where moving toward meaningful goals matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and managing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities with each person and together choose methods that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messages to suit different needs. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful, phone calls work where bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options add flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments.
