About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Brereton offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence for people working through grief, abuse, anxiety, questions about sexuality, issues related to Asperger syndrome, addictions, and the many other challenges life can bring. She listens with openness and guides gently rather than telling people what to do, prioritising the client as the expert in their own experience.

She is a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and an accredited member of the NCPS. With six years of clinical practice, she has supported people dealing with sexual, mental, physical, emotional, and financial abuse, bullying, relationship endings, identity questions, and those who want to change harmful behaviours or come to terms with who they are.

Now over 60, she brings life experience and calm clarity to the therapeutic relationship, describing herself as straightforward and accepting - what you see is what you get. Her style is primarily humanistic and person-centred, placing the client at the centre of sessions, while also drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy when a more structured approach is helpful.

She aims to treat everyone with respect and to maintain personal nature of sessions, offering support that empowers people to change when they wish to or to accept themselves when that is the goal. Elizabeth focuses on collaboration, helping each person find practical, respectful ways forward.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the person is listened to and respected. This approach helps people explore identity, self-esteem, and relationship issues by placing their experience at the centre of the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and for developing concrete coping strategies.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of abuse and traumatic events with techniques aimed at processing difficult memories and reducing their ongoing impact. It can be used alongside person-centred support to tailor the pace and focus to each individual.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with people and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit best with a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility by enabling sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access ongoing support around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across locations.
