About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Burgess is a counsellor with thirteen years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is noted as her professional credential. Elizabeth focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, stress and challenges to self‑esteem.
She aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Elizabeth encourages small, manageable steps towards change rather than sudden overhauls. Her background includes work supporting people through loss and end‑of‑life concerns, which informs a gentle approach to grief and hospice‑related issues. That experience means she is comfortable talking about mortality, bereavement and the emotions that follow major life transitions.
Elizabeth draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with trust, close relationships or repeated painful dynamics. She uses these ideas alongside straightforward discussion and planning to help people try different ways of relating.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment according to therapist availability.

Online support
Elizabeth pairs attachment ideas with a steady, conversational approach. She works with clients to choose what feels most useful, adapting the pace and focus to each person’s needs and goals. Finding the right approach is a shared process and she will help decide what fits best as sessions progress.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and a full conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check‑ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family commitments or different time zones and allow flexibility in how someone prefers to communicate.
