Elizabeth Mckenzie draws on client-centred and attachment-informed ways of working to create a calm, respectful space. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Elizabeth keeps language straightforward and practical so people can focus on what matters most.

She helps with stress and anxiety, and with low mood and depression. She also supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting pressures.

Background and approach

Additional areas include ADHD, grief, eating concerns and anger, as well as body image and self-esteem worries. Sessions centre on the person rather than a fixed script. Elizabeth listens first, then adapts conversations to what each person needs.

That might mean talking through emotions, spotting patterns rooted in attachment, or using goal-focused steps to try something different between sessions. Her approach mixes ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with a psychodynamic eye on past influences. Practical strategies are offered alongside space to reflect on feelings and relationships.

People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth counsellor often find this combination helpful. Elizabeth works in English and carries out sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings today. Online sessions can be used to talk through past and current relationship patterns, helping people notice repeated dynamics and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions and prioritises empathic listening and acceptance. This approach supports people who need a non-judgemental space to make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety and low mood and can include short tasks between meetings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to identify goals and decide which methods fit best. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made or new issues emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people work through thoughts in writing and fit therapy around busy days. These options make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life while exploring the approaches described above.
