About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Burgess is a counsellor with BACP registration and 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers support for those facing major life changes and people needing hospice and end-of-life counselling.

She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where a person can say what they need to say.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to suit each individual. The emphasis is on listening first and following the client’s lead while offering practical ways to cope. Elizabeth uses attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape current difficulties.

This helps when past hurts affect trust, closeness or self-worth. She explains patterns plainly and works with people to try different ways of relating and reacting. In a typical session she will help you make sense of strong emotions and find manageable steps forward.

Practical strategies and small experiments between sessions are offered when they feel useful. The work can include short-term coping tools and longer conversations about deeper wounds. She accepts international clients and runs sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are arranged from there.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

Attachment-Based Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Attachment-informed care delivered online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps when trust, closeness or self-worth are affected by past events and offers simple ways to notice and change unhelpful patterns.

The therapist will use that framework to make sense of recurrent relationship struggles and emotional reactions. Work can include talking through painful memories, practising different responses in imagined situations, and trying small changes between sessions to test what feels safer and more effective.

Finding the right way of working is a shared task. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match needs, goals and preferences. Clients are invited to give feedback and steer the pace and focus of the work.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need quick, on-the-go support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
