About Liz

Liz Elshaw is a UK counsellor with six years of practice supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She helps with motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She aims to make starting therapy feel less daunting and to offer steady support as people take that first step.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to each person and on small, practical steps they can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and warm, not full of jargon. Liz draws on a mix of approaches to match different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and act in line with values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot thinking patterns and try out new behaviours. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and how past connections shape current responses. Her practice also incorporates client-centred listening and emotionally-focused ways of working when relationships and feelings are central.

That lets people feel heard and then explore changes at a pace that suits them. Liz has experience working with people who have autism or ADHD and adapts sessions to be practical and clear. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat or messaging.

Liz describes herself as supportive and approachable and aims to help people build coping skills and clearer direction in life.

Online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments to test new ways of coping. It can help with stress, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Sessions can combine different approaches so the work stays practical and personally relevant rather than fixed to one method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are close to face-to-face for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, step-by-step planning and keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and more accessible for people with busy lives.
