About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Mckenzie works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression using a mix of talking therapies. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She uses client-centred methods to help people speak about what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered when practical steps or changes to thoughts and routines will help reduce symptoms such as panic or persistent low mood.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early and close relationships shape current patterns. That can help when people repeat the same difficulties in friendships or intimate relationships. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods may be used to look at emotional responses in relationships and how to express needs more clearly.

Elizabeth works at a steady, practical pace and plans sessions around what each person wants to achieve. She helps people talk through grief, anger, body image concerns, parenting strain and the practical side of coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress in conversational therapy.

Her work aims to make talking more useful and actionable. New clients complete a short questionnaire to match with a counsellor and then schedule a first session to set goals and decide an approach.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early attachments shape current relationship patterns and helps people understand repeating difficulties in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection, giving the client space to set the pace and topics of conversation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for panic, low mood and routines that affect day-to-day life.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in the first sessions and agree together which methods to try. That may include a mix of approaches and small practical tasks between sessions to track progress.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when a brief update is the priority. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt their approach so sessions fit everyday life and the client’s goals.
