Elizabeth Flynn, BACP

Elizabeth Flynn is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist who uses an integrative approach. She combines Attachment-Based ideas with Cognitive Behavioural techniques and other methods to suit each person. She focuses on practical help so people can move past things that feel stuck. Elizabeth aims to help clients find clearer ways to reach their goals and feel more hopeful about life.

Over four years she has worked across independent services and within NHS mental health settings. That background includes time in acute wards, CAMHS and forensic units, where she supported people with a range of difficulties. She has experience with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and relationship concerns, among other issues.

In sessions she looks at patterns that keep repeating and the feelings behind them. She uses CBT tools to tackle unhelpful thoughts and Attachment-Based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current reactions. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable steps.

Elizabeth works with issues such as jealousy, abandonment and attachment problems, grief, parenting challenges and anger. She offers practical strategies that people can try between sessions. The emphasis is on small changes that build better coping over time.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She will work with each person to tailor the approach to their needs and aims. People interested in starting are guided through a short matching process to find out if she is a good fit.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Elizabeth uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in trust, jealousy and closeness and notice how those patterns show up now.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical exercises and small experiments to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.

Finding the right method is a team effort. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and recommend a mix of approaches that fit the person’s needs. Choices may shift as work progresses and as different issues arise.

For online work, please confirm available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins if needed. Discussing practicalities ahead of time helps make sure sessions suit the client’s routine and goals.
