About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Davis is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 14 years of counselling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and coping with life changes. She also focuses on attachment and infant mental health concerns and on issues linked to family roles and relationships.
She trained in trauma-informed counselling for children and young people and holds an MA in Infant Mental Health. She is also an accredited Rewind practitioner for birth trauma and a Video Interactive Guidance (VIG) practitioner. Before moving into counselling roles she spent many years working with children and families in community and voluntary settings.
In sessions she uses practical approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred methods. She explains patterns of thoughts and behaviours plainly, and together with the client tests out alternative ways of responding to common triggers. Sessions often involve setting small, concrete goals and checking progress week to week.
Elizabeth works with adults, children and teenagers and has particular experience around antenatal and postnatal concerns, bonding and birth-related trauma. She also supports people dealing with grief, caregiver stress, issues of control or commitment, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her style is direct and structured while remaining respectful. New clients are invited to set the pace and priorities, and to agree clear steps for what they want to work on. Practical problem solving and reflecting on relationship patterns are common features of her work.
She practises in the United Kingdom and offers help in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session arrangements and formats to ensure they meet individual needs.
How Elizabeth blends approaches in online work
Elizabeth commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is practical and goal-focused, useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when bonding, separation and caregiver-child relationships are a concern. Client-Centred Therapy is part of her practice too, offering a respectful, listening-focused space that supports people to set their own goals.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include combining approaches or trying brief, solution-focused steps alongside longer work on attachment or trauma.
Session formats were not specified in the original profile, so please confirm current online arrangements before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days - they can be easier to schedule around work, childcare or short travel times. Other practical benefits include having quieter surroundings, using shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding camera use on some occasions. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which format will best suit a client’s goals and daily routine.
