Her approach balances practical skills for managing symptoms with exploration of underlying patterns that affect relationships and self-image.

Clients who choose to work with Lizzie can expect a professional and empathetic partnership focused on building a more fulfilling and resilient life. She accepts international clients and provides services in English. NCPS indicates a recognised professional credential in the United Kingdom.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy

Lizzie Hayes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues a client brings. She employs skills-focused interventions that help people manage stress, anxiety, and panic by teaching practical coping strategies and breathing or attention techniques that reduce symptom intensity. She also works with trauma-informed approaches that support processing distressing experiences at a pace the client can tolerate, helping to address post-traumatic stress and recovery from abuse.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Lizzie approaches therapy collaboratively, exploring a client’s goals, preferences, and life context to identify which evidence-based methods are most likely to help. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains aligned with the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to access support from different locations. These options allow for continuity of care, quicker scheduling, and the ability to choose the format that feels most comfortable for each client.
