About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. She also offers support for addictions, grief, family-related concerns, intimacy issues and sleep or eating difficulties.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions begin by identifying what matters most to the client. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and then tries practical ways to change them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the methods she uses alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas.
Elizabeth spent time working in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That experience shapes how she listens and responds when someone brings difficult or painful stories. She focuses on helping people feel heard and understood before moving on to problem-solving or coping strategies.
In sessions she balances listening with clear, structured techniques. She can help with immediate coping skills and longer-term shifts in thinking and behaviour. People often work on managing anxiety, improving communication, or rebuilding confidence after loss or relationship breakdown.
Practical arrangements and ongoing care are discussed together. Clients follow a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is practical and focuses on small experiments that can reduce anxiety, lift mood or change problem behaviours.She also uses client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities. That approach helps when someone needs space to talk through difficult feelings and to feel understood. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that repeat over time and to make sense of deeper emotions and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what fits best based on the client’s goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, childcare or health constraints, and they can be used to practise skills between meetings.
