About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a psychotherapist who offers online counselling from the United Kingdom. She has nine years of experience and holds a BACP credential. Elizabeth focuses on depression and anxiety alongside a wide range of concerns such as addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, and grief.
Her sessions aim to build a trusting, compassionate connection. She creates a calm space where people can talk without judgement. That relationship is the starting point for the practical work she does with clients.
Background and approach
Elizabeth draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. She also uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the person’s goals.
In practical terms she helps clients name what they are feeling, test beliefs that limit them, and practise new habits that increase resilience. The work often focuses on rebuilding confidence, improving sleep and coping better with life changes. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what feels most manageable.
Elizabeth accepts international clients and works in English. If someone wants to begin, they use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and managing stress.
Client-Centred Therapy puts the relationship first, with empathic listening and non-judgemental support to help people explore their experience at their own pace. This approach supports self-awareness and builds confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss options and decide together with each person which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what the person needs at different stages.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and share a longer session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and for people who find written communication easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives.
