About Liz

Liz Spencer is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She focuses on helping people notice and understand patterns that shape how they relate to others. Liz aims to make therapy a calm place to talk through difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence responses today. That work often surfaces issues like jealousy, commitment worries or feeling empty, and Liz helps people make sense of those reactions. She also supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem.

Her style is client-centred. That means sessions are guided by what each person needs in the moment. Liz listens without judgement and helps clients name thoughts and emotions, then tries out practical steps to respond differently over time.

Mindfulness techniques are used alongside talking work to help people notice their bodies and thoughts without getting swept away. This can make strong emotions feel more manageable and create space for different choices.

Many people come wanting clearer communication, relief from anxiety, or help after a breach of trust such as infidelity. Liz works at a steady pace and focuses on building self-awareness, emotional resilience, and healthier ways of connecting with others.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in relationships and supports steps towards different ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps individuals find their own solutions rather than directing them.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without immediately reacting. It can reduce the intensity of anxiety and make it easier to choose responses when jealousy or shame arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. The counsellor works collaboratively to match methods to your goals, preferences and what comes up in early sessions. That helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Practical online benefits include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to join from different locations and to schedule sessions around work or study.
