About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Burgess works with trauma and abuse, anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes using attachment-based approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of professional experience in the field.

Elizabeth offers straightforward, conversational counselling. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She listens for patterns in relationships and explores how early attachments can affect current thoughts and feelings. The focus is practical and relational rather than technical jargon.

In sessions she helps people name difficult emotions and notice how those emotions affect day-to-day functioning. She uses talking and reflection to help people try different ways of relating to themselves and others. For those facing loss or end-of-life concerns she brings attention to the needs that arise at those times and to how people make sense of grief.

Her work is paced to the individual. Some people use a few sessions to manage specific stressors. Others work for longer on deeper relationship patterns and self-beliefs. Elizabeth discusses goals together and reviews progress as therapy continues.

She practises in the United Kingdom and sees clients in English. International clients are also accepted. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match with a counsellor and arrange a first appointment.

Attachment-informed counselling and remote sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the ways people relate to others and manage distress. It pays attention to patterns such as clinginess, avoidance, or difficulty trusting, and aims to help people notice and change unhelpful relational habits.

When working with grief, loss or end-of-life concerns she focuses on how connections and meaning are affected. The approach helps people name feelings, make sense of losses, and find practical ways to cope with change.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which aspects of attachment work might be most useful. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify which remote formats are offered, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce the need to travel, which helps some people maintain regular contact with a therapist.
