About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of hands-on experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and parenting worries. Sessions are practical and goal-focused to help people manage everyday challenges.
Her main ways of working include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based methods and client-centred listening. In sessions she looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and tries small, practical steps to change them. She also pays attention to how past relationship experiences shape current patterns.
Elizabeth uses Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas when feelings or past events need a deeper look. That can help when strong emotions or repeated relationship patterns are causing distress. She mixes approaches to fit what the person says they need and what works in practice.
She has experience supporting people with grief, eating concerns, anger, ADHD-related challenges, body image and social anxiety. She also helps with communication problems, guilt and shame, and finding clearer life purpose. Sessions aim to be straightforward with clear next steps.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a first booking step are used. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How Elizabeth blends approaches for online sessions
Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT is practical and often involves short experiments and behavioural changes that can be discussed and reviewed in regular sessions.She also draws on attachment-based work to examine how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. That approach looks at how expectations about others form and how to try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy is used to keep the conversation focused on the person’s own experience and priorities, with the counsellor listening and reflecting what matters most.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. Plans can be adjusted as sessions progress so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and making scheduling easier. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss which setup will work best during the first appointment.
