About Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Liz) Cook offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so someone worried about reaching out can feel less alone. Liz aims to create a steady space where people can say what’s on their mind and work out what to do next.

Liz qualified as a counsellor in the UK in 2012 and has twelve years of counselling experience.

Background and approach

Before qualifying she spent 22 years in social care supporting people with disabilities and the families who cared for them. That background shaped her understanding of long-term illness, chronic pain and the strain caring can place on relationships and wellbeing. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside person-centred values, to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping.

Sessions focus on practical steps as well as exploring feelings. Liz also supports people working through addiction, compassion fatigue, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, and loneliness. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual.

Early sessions look at what matters most and set small, achievable goals. Over time people build skills to manage mood swings, anxiety, grief and life changes in ways that feel more manageable. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines.

Liz works in English and practises across a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD and career worries.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

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

How CBT and person-centred work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test practical changes. CBT techniques often include simple exercises for mood, sleep and anxiety that can be practised between sessions and reviewed online.

She also brings a person-centred approach, which focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. That style supports people to lead the pace and topics of sessions while the counsellor offers empathy and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that suit each person’s needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time.

Online sessions can fit different lifestyles and needs. Video calls let people talk face to face; phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates or for those who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving or other commitments.
