Liz Elshaw, BACP

Liz Elshaw is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those living with ADHD and autism, and people facing relationship and family concerns. Liz aims to make taking the first step feel less daunting and offers steady support along the way.

In sessions she creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly. She works at a pace set by each person and focuses on practical steps that people can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and centred on what matters most to the client.

Liz uses a mix of approaches to suit different issues. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and choose values-led action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationships and emotional safety.

Her style is warm and client-centred, so people shape the goals and direction of therapy. She pays attention to how life events such as bereavement, chronic illness or caregiving strain affect day-to-day coping. Practical strategies and small experiments often sit alongside deeper emotional work.

Liz holds BACP accreditation, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom. If someone wants to explore whether she might be a good fit, she encourages them to reach out and start the matching process.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape emotional responses and can help with trust, connection and managing conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, struggles and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to work from a familiar setting and those who need to keep sessions brief around work or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements when you schedule your first meeting.
