About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Flynn works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, mood difficulties and a wide range of life challenges. She describes her practice as integrative, using Person-Centred, Attachment and Cognitive Behavioural approaches. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

She offers direct, practical sessions that focus on what the client wants to change. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and day-to-day thinking. She uses attachment-informed work to consider how early relationships shape current reactions, and CBT techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Her background includes work with mental health patients over six-plus years in private organisations and in NHS mental health settings, including acute, CAMHS and forensic wards. That experience informs how she manages distress and complex presentations in short- and medium-term work.

She also works with issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem and parenting matters. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment problems, domestic violence, and fatherhood issues.

In sessions she aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try alternative ways of coping. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set practical, achievable goals and to track small changes between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Elizabeth often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps when difficulties keep repeating in close relationships or when abandonment and attachment issues are a concern. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is also used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change reactions and mood. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and notice small changes between sessions. Together these approaches give a mix of understanding patterns and trying practical steps. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach or combination fits best, based on their needs, goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm whether video, telephone or other formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and some formats let people have a shorter check-in or avoid being on camera. Talk with the counsellor during the matching process about practical arrangements and what will work for everyday life.
