Liz Elshaw, BACP

Liz Elshaw is a UK-trained counsellor with 6 years of professional therapeutic experience who holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with autistic clients and people with ADHD and offers practical, evidence-informed support for stress and anxiety, grief and loss, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression.

Her approach is grounded in creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She works collaboratively with each person to identify realistic goals and to develop coping strategies that fit their daily life. Liz aims to balance emotional processing with practical tools so clients can move toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying relationships. Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, she supports people through those first steps and through ongoing change at a pace that suits each individual.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and build small, practical steps toward a life that matters to them. It supports working with difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses structured conversations and practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, often helpful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Liz will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds rather than insisting on a single path.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to provide consistent support even when in-person meetings are not possible.
