About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor who uses trauma-informed and attachment-aware approaches to help people cope with distress. She holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. Her style is respectful and compassionate.

She offers short, direct conversations to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve self-esteem and manage mood.

Background and approach

Elizabeth adapts her way of working to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. She uses client-centred listening to build trust and allow people to describe what feels hard.

Cognitive behavioural tools are brought in when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally-focused methods are used to access and name strong feelings, and trauma-focused techniques are applied with care when past events continue to affect daily life. This mix supports people dealing with grief, anger, body image concerns, eating difficulties and post-traumatic stress symptoms.

Sessions can also address practical life challenges such as parenting strain, communication problems, isolation and finding life purpose. Elizabeth aims to help people find clearer ways to cope, make decisions and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Trauma-focused work helps people process past distress by pacing memory and feeling work so it feels manageable. This approach can be useful for ongoing post-traumatic stress symptoms, intense memories or when past events affect current relationships. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and respond to others; it helps with trust, communication and recurring relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk about different ways of working, try techniques that fit the person's goals, and change direction if something does not help. That collaborative process is part of each early session so the plan reflects the client's needs and comfort level.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets conversations feel close to in-person work while phone calls need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging suits short check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel, and make regular contact easier for many people.
