Elizabeth (Liz) Cook, BACP

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that feed low mood or anxiety and then try small, practical experiments to change them. CBT sessions often include simple tasks between meetings to build new habits and reduce symptoms over time.

Her person‑centred approach means sessions begin with open listening so the person can describe what matters most. From that starting point she and the client decide together which techniques to use and how quickly to move, keeping the pace suited to the person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process in which goals and methods are reviewed as progress is made.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation when that feels most helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check‑ins or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life.
