About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a counsellor who uses practical, client-focused approaches to help people facing relationship and family challenges. She combines gentle listening with clear tools to support self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Lizz works from the United Kingdom and has four years of professional experience.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her sessions aim to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings without judgement.
Background and approach
She creates a calm space where clients can try new ways of coping. Conversations often include everyday steps to manage stress, sleep problems or anger. Lizz draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work.
That means she helps people notice what matters to them, test small changes, and reframe unhelpful thoughts in straightforward ways. She also uses attachment-based and mindfulness ideas when they fit the situation. These can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and the emotional aftermath of separation or loss.
Lizz adapts methods to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. People come to her for help with career stress, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or caring responsibilities. She also supports those dealing with codependency, commitment worries and family disputes.
Her style is practical, calm and focused on helping people take manageable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values. It uses practical exercises to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and mood problems. It often includes simple homework tasks and skill practice between sessions. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and prioritises listening, understanding and collaboration rather than advice.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation where techniques are tried, reviewed and adjusted together rather than imposed.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into short breaks or support ongoing check-ins. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life is busy or travel is difficult, while allowing therapists and registered or accredited professionals to use the same interventions they would in person.
