About Elizabeth

Elizabeth McKenzie is a counsellor who works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and major life changes. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels overwhelming. Her approach aims to make the first step easier and less daunting for anyone who is worried about reaching out.

She centres the client's needs in sessions and offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful memories and current problems.

Background and approach

Elizabeth emphasises being heard and understood before moving on to change. That practical focus helps people build acceptance of themselves and consider small, achievable steps forward. Her background includes three years of counselling experience and work in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence.

That work shaped her commitment to attentive listening and to creating safety in the therapeutic relationship. Elizabeth draws on several approaches, including trauma-focused therapy, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts these to each person's situation and preference, keeping explanations simple and direct during sessions.

Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. Elizabeth supports people coping with a wide range of issues, from grief and addiction to career stress and parenting strain. She aims to empower clients and provide a steady space to explore whatever has brought them to therapy.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

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

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Elizabeth uses trauma-focused therapy to help people process distressing events and the feelings that follow. This approach aims to reduce the intensity of painful memories and teach coping strategies for triggers and flashbacks.

She also draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathy and acceptance while supporting people to find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy, used alongside these, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical steps to change patterns that cause anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss what feels most useful and adjust methods to match goals, needs and personal preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when convenient. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and suit times when you don't want to be on camera. Chat and text can work well for short check-ins or when writing helps you say what matters. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
