About Liz

Liz Elshaw is a UK-trained counsellor with six years of professional therapeutic experience and the BACP credential, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with autistic clients and people with ADHD, bringing specific experience to neurodiversity-related needs and communication styles.

Her practice focuses on supporting people managing stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, building motivation, improving self-esteem and confidence, and addressing depression. Liz approaches each client with curiosity and respect, helping them to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace.

Liz aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where emotions and concerns can be shared without fear of criticism. She recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and she offers steady support throughout that process. Her work is grounded in helping clients find practical ways to move forward while attending to their emotional experience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections, helping people address attachment issues and improve relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating space for clients to explore their feelings and build self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Liz works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts approaches over time as those needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in decisions about their care.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, mobility concerns, or other commitments, and allow consistent contact with licensed professionals and therapists without requiring travel.
