About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Burgess has worked in counselling for 13 years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief or major life changes. Elizabeth also focuses on issues arising from trauma and abuse and on hospice and end-of-life counselling.

She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Elizabeth listens for patterns in relationships and emotion and helps clients notice how those patterns affect daily life. Her style is straightforward and warm.

She encourages small, manageable steps that fit into a busy life. Practical coping skills and gentle reflection are used together so change feels steady rather than rushed. Elizabeth pays particular attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current worries.

This helps when anxiety, low self-esteem or persistent sadness feel linked to old hurts or losses. She offers support for people facing terminal illness or the emotional strain of caring for someone near the end of life. Sessions can include talking, checking practical strategies, and reflecting on relationship patterns.

The focus is always on what the person wants to change and what will work for their situation. People who value a kind, clear approach often find her way of working helpful.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

Attachment-Based Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Attachment-informed support delivered online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings, expectations and behaviour today. It helps when anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship patterns feel tied to earlier experiences, and it can be useful when people are grieving or coping with trauma.

Elizabeth uses this lens to understand how clients connect with others and with themselves. She helps people notice repeated patterns and try different ways of responding. That process aims to increase emotional safety and improve day-to-day coping during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Elizabeth will talk through goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that feel manageable. Together they decide whether to focus on practical skills, exploring relationship history, or a mix of both.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging works for short check-ins, notes between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. Those options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties and other commitments.
