Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton uses a mix of practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship challenges. She is a BACP counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Lizz focuses on helping people build confidence, cope with life changes, and manage everyday pressures.

She works one to one to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through their thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Lizz listens carefully and helps clients identify small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. Her work addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting and family strains, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, and issues around commitment and communication.

Additional areas include attachment difficulties, chronic illness and disability, autism and avoidant or dependent personality patterns. Therapeutic methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centred approaches and mindfulness practices. These methods are used in everyday language and adapted to each person’s situation.

Lizz accepts clients from the UK and internationally and offers sessions in English. She encourages people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to reach out and take the first step towards clearer thinking and steadier coping.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical techniques to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them if something does not fit, so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

Online sessions can be booked as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different places, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs while keeping a consistent connection with a registered or accredited professional.
