About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She aims to make reaching out straightforward and comfortable. Elizabeth keeps the person’s needs at the centre and creates space to talk through difficult feelings without judgement.
She works in a warm, accepting way and focuses on listening carefully. That approach helps people feel understood and begin to look at painful experiences at their own pace.
Background and approach
Elizabeth values building a reliable working relationship before moving into practical change. Her background includes three years of practice and experience in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That work shaped how she listens to people who feel unheard and how she supports them to find ways forward.
Elizabeth combines talking therapy with practical steps tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred methods to prioritise the person’s voice and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Trauma-focused techniques are used sensitively when past hurt is a core concern.
People come to her for many reasons, including grief, self-esteem problems, addiction issues, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strain and career stress. She also supports people working through attachment, abandonment or communication problems. Elizabeth offers a calm, steady presence while helping people identify small, manageable goals.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and practical tasks to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or shift unhelpful habits.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past harm affects day-to-day life. It uses careful, gradual techniques to help people reduce distress and build more manageable ways of coping when trauma is a factor.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and choose or combine methods together. This collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange regular meetings and keep therapy consistent with daily life.
