About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cooper is a warm, welcoming counsellor who focuses on building a honest and trusting relationship with each person she meets. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult feelings and life changes. Elizabeth works in a relational, person-centred way and draws on her BACP registration to shape ethical, professional practice.
Elizabeth believes early attachments shape how people relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
She helps people notice repeating patterns and understand how those learned responses affect current life. In sessions she encourages practical learning about thoughts, feelings and behaviour so people can try new ways of coping. Her background includes work across healthcare and education settings such as A&E, surgery, mental health services, community health visiting, rehabilitation, schools and nurseries.
She also has experience with domestic violence services and bereavement counselling, which informs her sensitive approach to trauma and loss. Therapy with Elizabeth is individualised. She combines relational, psychodynamic and humanistic ideas with tools from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when helpful.
The focus is on increasing self-awareness and strengthening the relationship a person has with themselves. Elizabeth also offers supervision and supports counsellors in training. She approaches supervision in the same relational way, helping supervisees reflect on their practice and develop confidence in their work.

How relational approaches work online
Elizabeth uses approaches that focus on connection and present-moment experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can aid with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and helps people understand how these shape current relationships and emotional responses.She also draws on client-centred principles, which put the person's experience at the centre of the work and emphasise empathy and unconditional acceptance. These approaches suit people who want a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide together which methods feel most helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Elizabeth will discuss options and adapt methods to fit a person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring. The aim is to build a treatment plan together and adjust it as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is preferred, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, collaborative progress.
