About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Doherty is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She speaks English and offers online work for people who want practical support with stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and life changes. She focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what is worrying them.

Sessions aim to help clients make sense of difficult feelings, build confidence, and find manageable ways forward.

Background and approach

The first step is often a short conversation about what matters most and what a client hopes to achieve. Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred ways of working to follow what the client finds most important.

Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thought patterns and practical ways to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. She also brings in existential ideas when people are wrestling with life purpose, career choices or big changes. Solution-focused tools are used to set clear, achievable goals so progress can be checked each week.

Mindfulness is offered when present-moment awareness can ease stress. Elizabeth is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has worked across a range of concerns including trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes supporting people through illness, life transitions and communication problems.

Conversations are practical and straightforward. Clients work together with Elizabeth to build small steps that fit into everyday life and move toward clearer thinking, steadier moods and better sleep.

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

How these approaches work online

Elizabeth uses client-centred work to follow what matters to the person in front of her. That means sessions begin by listening and reflecting, helping clients name their concerns and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing simple practical changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss options and try different tools with clients so they can agree what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are checked and adapted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat suit people who prefer to write through thoughts, recap sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit sessions around family, work and other commitments.
