About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Duffy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with depression, stress and anxiety. She creates a calm and non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. She invites honest conversation and aims to help people feel understood and heard.
With 17 years of experience and the NCPS credential, Elizabeth draws on several practical approaches. She often uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
She also works with cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Elizabeth brings emotionally focused ideas when relationships and connection are important to the work. Mindfulness techniques are included to help with grounding, sleep problems and managing stress day to day.
Motivational interviewing can be used when people are trying to change habits such as addictive behaviours. In sessions she aims to break things down into small steps. Conversations look at what is getting in the way now and what small experiments might help.
She encourages practical strategies alongside talking about emotions. People contact her about a wide range of concerns including grief, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career changes, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD and issues linked to trauma or abuse. She also supports people dealing with compulsions, social anxiety, intimacy-related issues and first responder stress.
Sessions are offered in English and Elizabeth works with international clients. She supports people from different backgrounds and focuses on helping each person set realistic goals and build coping skills over time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a practical way. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behaviour changes or experiments. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and some compulsive behaviours.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to how people connect with others and how emotions shape relationships. When relationship issues, intimacy or grief are part of the concern, this approach helps people understand patterns and try different responses in interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and current situation. Plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses and new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler, while messaging and chat can suit quick check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, and they offer flexibility for follow-up or brief coaching-style contacts between longer sessions.
