About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Pickford brings three years of counselling experience and a long background supporting children and families. She works from a person-centred stance and aims to help people who are feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed by life changes, or coping with trauma and loss. Elizabeth uses calm, direct conversation so people can talk through painful experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

She has a history of working with issues linked to attachment, trauma, addiction, bereavement and relationship strain.

Background and approach

That experience shapes how she listens and asks questions, helping people spot unhelpful patterns and begin to try different approaches to coping. Elizabeth also offers restorative mediation skills when relationships need practical repair. Her approach is grounded in client-centred values and emotionally focused work.

Sessions often focus on understanding emotions, building trusting connections, and improving how people relate to themselves and others. Elizabeth aims to create a space where people can voice shame, grief or anger without being judged. Practical concerns are addressed alongside feelings.

She can help with parenting stress, career uncertainty, intimacy issues and mood problems such as depression or bipolar-related difficulties. Conversations may include short exercises, reflection and planning steps to try between sessions. Elizabeth is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and sees people in the United Kingdom.

Sessions take place online in a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, depending on what someone prefers.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

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 draws on attachment-based work to help people notice how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns. That approach focuses on building trust and clearer emotional connection, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy issues.

She also uses emotionally focused therapy to help people label strong emotions and change unhelpful interaction patterns. EFT-based work is practical: sessions aim to recognise emotions, slow down reactions and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working to try first. Decisions are made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people read facial cues and body language, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep contact consistent when schedules change.
