About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people facing grief, addictions, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, anger and career worries. Elizabeth aims to make the first contact as straightforward and calm as possible for worried people reaching out for help.
Her style is warm and person-focused. She centres each session on what the individual needs and listens without judgement.
Background and approach
That approach makes space for people to talk about painful or difficult experiences at a pace that suits them. Elizabeth uses a mix of practical and reflective ways of working. Sessions can include solution-focused steps to tackle immediate problems and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.
She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. Her background includes three years of practice and work in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That experience shaped how she listens and responds to trauma, and how she supports people who say they do not feel heard elsewhere.
Elizabeth is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and carries out sessions in English. If someone prefers online contact she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the person's lead to build understanding and self-acceptance. This approach is useful when someone needs empathetic space to talk things through and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural experiments and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach often happens together. The therapist will discuss what the person hopes to achieve and adapt methods to match those goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques to see what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that suits. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing to talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep regular contact with a therapist when in-person sessions are difficult.
