Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz, BACP

Elizabeth 'Liz' Pentz is a qualified, person-centred therapeutic counsellor who draws on an eclectic set of skills to support people through depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship challenges. With four years of experience, she works with clients who are struggling with low self-esteem and self-worth, helping them to build a stronger internal foundation for living more contentedly and healthily.

She has extensive experience in bereavement support and understands the complex, often traumatic nature of loss in its many forms, including how loss can be embedded in depression and other life difficulties. Pentz also has specialist training in supporting victims of sexual and domestic abuse and offers practical guidance for developing healthier coping strategies during difficult times.

Working from a person-centred perspective, she follows the principle of walking alongside clients rather than giving prescriptive advice, offering empathy and a non-judgemental presence. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long and may continue over a period of weeks or be adapted to a client’s preferences. Pentz supplements person-centred work with mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these tools fit a client’s needs.

She is a Registered Member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards. Elizabeth 'Liz' Pentz aims to listen deeply, support exploration, and help clients discover their own inner resources for coping and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Elizabeth 'Liz' Pentz works online using well-established approaches tailored to a client's needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work, helping with issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and relaxation practices to help reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve emotional regulation in day-to-day life. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers sensitive, structured support for those processing traumatic events, aimed at helping people make sense of painful experiences and develop coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Pentz works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting techniques over time so the work fits the person's needs and comfort level.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy lives, mobility limits, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to access regular support while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to each client’s schedule and communication preferences.
