About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cooper is a BACP counsellor who offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. She writes in a warm, down-to-earth way and focuses on building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly and make steady changes. She believes early attachments shape how people relate to themselves and others.
In sessions she helps clients spot repeating patterns learned in childhood, and then practise new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Work is grounded in the body and mind together, so emotional reactions and physical sensations are both noticed and talked through. Her way of working is relational and integrative. She draws on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to suit each person's needs.
The aim is to help people become more self-aware, manage strong emotions and improve close relationships. Elizabeth has eight years of experience and a background that includes healthcare, mental health services, rehabilitation and bereavement support. She has worked in settings such as A&E, community health visiting, schools and charities supporting people affected by domestic violence and young people in counselling services.
Practical help in her sessions can include learning skills to cope with stress, ways to handle intense feelings, and exercises to improve communication. She approaches therapy as a process rather than a quick fix and supports clients to discover their own answers and next steps.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work
Elizabeth often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing experiences by gently revisiting memories and learning new ways to manage triggers. This approach aims to reduce the hold of past events and ease daily symptoms related to trauma.She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore what matters to the client, discuss different options and agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps shape therapy so it fits the person's goals and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which gives practical flexibility. Video works well when visual cues matter, phone calls suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer voice only, live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to continue progress when in-person meetings are difficult.
