Elizabeth Cockram meets people who are feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed and helps them find clearer ways forward. She uses straightforward language and gentle curiosity to make difficult issues easier to talk about. Libby has 15 years of experience as a counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Her practice focuses on relationship and intimacy difficulties, stress and anxiety, mood changes and coping with life transitions.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction concerns, body image and the practical strains of chronic illness. Libby offers compassionate, non-judgemental sessions aimed at small, useful changes rather than quick fixes. In session she combines client-centred listening with practical techniques.

That might mean noticing how old relationship patterns repeat, trying short exercises from cognitive behavioural therapy, or practising simple mindfulness steps to reduce tension. Conversations are paced to fit each person’s needs and readiness. Her background includes work in social services and the NHS alongside independent practice.

Those roles exposed her to a wide range of issues and helped shape a flexible way of working. The emphasis is always on collaboration - the counsellor and the person together decide what helps. Sessions can include focused problem-solving, learning communication skills, or exploring deeper attachment patterns.

Libby aims to help people feel more in control of their choices and better able to manage difficult feelings. Practical everyday strategies are mixed with space to reflect and heal.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now. It helps people understand connection styles and build more supported ways of relating in present relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing an approach is part of the work and happens together. The counsellor will talk through goals, try different ways of working, and adapt methods to what feels most useful for the person. That collaborative process helps make sure the method matches the issue and the individual’s preferences.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let the pair keep visual contact for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for short check-ins, journalling between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments.
