About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz practises a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of the work. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to help people find their own strengths. Liz describes sessions as supportive and non-judgemental, usually lasting 45 minutes, over a series of meetings or as the person prefers.
Liz has four years' experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns. She has particular experience in bereavement and supporting people who have experienced sexual and domestic abuse.
Background and approach
She also helps with low self-esteem and building coping strategies for difficult times. Her core counselling method is client-centred therapy, which encourages people to explore feelings at their own pace and find inner resources. She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these tools fit a person’s needs and preferences.
Sessions aim to help people develop practical ways to manage stress, sleeping problems, compassion fatigue and life changes. Liz works with issues such as addictions, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD and career stress by focusing on the person's experience and goals. Liz is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP on her profile.
She conducts work from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English. For people wanting to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches Elizabeth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and relaxation practices. These are short exercises that help reduce anxious thinking and improve sleep and everyday coping. They are used as practical tools alongside the counselling conversation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on open conversation, mindfulness exercises, or trauma-focused work when needed.
Online sessions come in several formats to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
