About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Liz) Cook welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. She aims to make first steps feel simple and manageable. Liz writes plainly, listens closely and helps people work out small, practical changes they can try between sessions.

Liz trained as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and has around 12 years of experience. Before qualifying she spent more than two decades in social care supporting people with disabilities and their family carers.

Background and approach

That background shaped her understanding of how illness, disability and long-term caring affect everyday life. She has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, persistent stress and grief. Liz also supports people dealing with issues such as trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, sleeping and eating problems, and changes linked to ageing or chronic illness.

Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside a person-centred way of relating. In early sessions she gives space for people to tell their story and sets clear, shared goals. Sessions tend to mix practical strategies with careful listening so people can test what helps in their daily life.

Liz offers remote sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a first session.

How CBT and person-centred counselling work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative ways of coping. CBT often includes short experiments and practical exercises that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours.

She also draws on a person-centred way of working that focuses on careful listening and building a trusting relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and organised enough to try new strategies and make steady changes in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try different techniques and agree together what feels most useful. It is common to combine listening with practical CBT tasks so the work fits the person's life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier with lower bandwidth, chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring or mobility constraints while keeping a steady, ongoing process with a registered professional.
