About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz uses a client-centred approach as the core of her work. She focuses on listening and helping people find their own resources. Liz offers practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma-related difficulties.

She has four years of experience and is a BACP member, which she keeps visible as part of her professional background. Sessions are typically 45 minutes and can be arranged over weeks or as the person prefers.

Background and approach

Liz aims to create a steady, empathic presence rather than provide quick fixes. Many people come to her with low self-esteem, relationship worries, sleep problems or struggles with intimacy and addiction. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic illness, bereavement and the complex feelings that follow loss.

Liz recognises that these challenges often overlap and present in personal, individual ways. Her work draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects present life. She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help calm the body and mind.

In sessions she blends these approaches with a person-centred stance so that the pace and focus match the client’s needs. Liz has particular experience supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and in bereavement work. She helps people develop coping strategies, build internal resources and process difficult events at a pace they can manage.

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.

How trauma-aware, person-centred work translates online

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz combines Trauma-Focused Therapy and a client-centred approach to guide online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current feelings and behaviour and supports people to process those experiences at a manageable pace. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering acceptance and active listening so people can find their own solutions and build inner resources.

Mindfulness methods are offered as practical tools to reduce stress and improve sleep, using simple breathing and relaxation exercises. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a shared task; the counsellor and client decide together what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when low bandwidth is needed or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or people who find writing easier than speaking.

These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel and allow contact from different locations while keeping the focus on practical support and steady progress.
