About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that keeps the client's own experience at the heart of therapy. She offers calm, attentive listening and helps people find their own ways to cope. Sessions are usually 45 minutes and can run for a few weeks or longer if someone prefers.
Liz draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these are useful, alongside trauma-focused ideas for people who have had difficult or harmful experiences.
Background and approach
She aims to help people build steadier self-worth and clearer ways of managing strong feelings. This includes support for stress, anxiety and depression. She has particular experience with bereavement and loss, including complicated grief where feelings can be confusing or conflicting.
Liz also has experience supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and helps them work through what happened and develop coping strategies for the future. Other areas she works with include relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, sleeping problems, addiction issues, compassion fatigue, and life changes such as career shifts or ageing.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, attachment or abandonment worries, and ADHD-related challenges. Liz is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated to BACP. She provides services from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Person-centred care and online therapy options
Person-centred therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the client guides the conversation and the counsellor reflects what is said. This approach helps people who want to explore feelings, build self-worth and make sense of their experience without being told what to do.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing or relaxation techniques to reduce stress and soothe overwhelming emotions. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to address distressing memories and reactions, and can be used when someone needs targeted support after harmful or traumatic events.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as the work continues. That means practical tools may be introduced alongside open listening depending on the person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is useful for real-time conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions are a good option when lower bandwidth or being off-camera helps. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more accessible for busy schedules, mobility limits or when someone needs shorter, more frequent contact.
