About Liz
Liz Elshaw is a UK counsellor with six years of professional therapeutic experience and a BACP registration. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, motivation and confidence. She also has experience working with autism and ADHD and supports people facing relationship and family concerns.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can bring relief. She listens without judgement and works with each person’s pace and priorities.
Her background includes work with a range of issues such as eating and addiction problems, trauma and abuse, anger and bipolar mood difficulties. She also supports people coping with major life changes, caregiver strain, chronic illness and bereavement. This variety informs a flexible approach in sessions.
Liz uses several therapeutic approaches to guide conversations. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work. She blends practical techniques with reflective conversation so people can try new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings.
Sessions aim to build clearer thinking, steadier mood and more manageable day-to-day routines. People often work on specific goals such as reducing overwhelm, improving sleep, tackling unhelpful habits or rebuilding confidence after loss. The focus is on useful steps that fit into everyday life.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying values and taking small, practical steps that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional experiences in relationships and can help with stronger connection and managing difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. That collaborative process means techniques can be adapted as progress is made or priorities change.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or study, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote sessions often use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency while juggling study, early careers and everyday responsibilities.
