Elizabeth Davis, BACP

Elizabeth Davis is a fully qualified integrative counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She has specialist training in trauma-informed counselling for children and young people, holds an MA in Infant Mental Health, and is an accredited Rewind practitioner for birth trauma as well as an accredited Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) practitioner, qualifications that support her work with parents, infants and families.

Her background includes more than 30 years working with children and families in the community and voluntary sector and 13 years as a counsellor in charities. She currently works as a counsellor for a parent mental health charity and is committed to helping families get the best possible start. Elizabeth works with adults, children and teenagers, offering support across a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and parenting challenges.

Elizabeth takes a tailored approach that respects each person or family’s pace and priorities. She creates a non-judgmental space built on mutual respect and compassion, where people can explore antenatal and postnatal issues, birth trauma, bonding and attachment, infant mental health, and wider family or parenting difficulties. She sees the decision to seek support as a courageous first step and provides steady, practical support throughout the therapeutic process.

Approaches to therapy and how online sessions can help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape feelings of safety and connection. This approach helps people explore bonding, attachment patterns and how past caregiving experiences affect current relationships and parenting.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and support to help clients find their own solutions. It is useful for people seeking a respectful, non-directive space to process emotions and make life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. It is often used alongside other methods to address day-to-day coping and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions so the style and pace suit each person or family.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and caregiving responsibilities, and allow therapists and clients to connect from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
