About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cockram is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who helps people facing relationship troubles, anxiety, stress and trauma. She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Libby uses a calm, straightforward style and focuses on what a person wants to change.
She aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy. Her background includes work in social services and the NHS, and many years running a independent practice.
Background and approach
That mix gave her experience with a wide range of presenting problems, including addiction, grief, body image and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns and aspects of sexual subcultures such as BDSM and kink. Elizabeth draws on client-centred listening and attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape a person’s patterns.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice thoughts that keep problems going, and mindfulness to build calm and focus. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She works with people on issues such as parenting stress, communication problems, depression, bipolar mood challenges, anger and compassion fatigue.
Libby also supports LGBT clients and those coping with chronic illness or bereavement. Her approach is practical and compassionate and aims to help people find clearer ways forward. If someone is unsure how to begin, she recommends a short initial conversation to talk about goals and what a helpful next step might be.

How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond to stress. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practice different ways of relating in real time. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience without judgement. In an online session the counsellor offers that same attentive listening and helps clients set goals that feel realistic for their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real life. It often uses short exercises between sessions to try different ways of thinking and behaving, which work well in video or text-based formats.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters most to the client and agree together which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process where plans can be reviewed and adjusted as needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility and different practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact while saving travel time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, writing-focused reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
