Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz offers a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She uses empathic listening and an accepting presence to help people explore their feelings and build inner resources. Sessions are 45 minutes and can run weekly or at a pace the client prefers.

Liz brings four years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and stress. She also focuses on grief, trauma and abuse, and the lasting impact these experiences can have on day-to-day life.

Background and approach

She pays close attention to low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy and relationships. Her practice includes mindfulness and relaxation techniques that can be taught during sessions. These skills are offered as practical tools to manage overwhelming feelings and to support calmer thinking in stressful moments.

They are introduced as useful options alongside the core person-centred work. Liz is a BACP member, which reflects her commitment to professional standards set by that body. She has worked with people affected by bereavement and offers particular sensitivity to complicated loss and mourning.

She also has experience supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. The counselling space is non-judgemental and paced to each person. Liz aims to help clients develop stronger internal foundations for living more comfortably and with greater clarity.

She focuses on listening, reflecting and walking alongside people as they make changes. To begin, Liz asks clients to think about what they want to get from counselling and how they prefer to work. She offers practical steps and supports clients as they try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

How person-centred and trauma-aware therapy works online

Elizabeth uses person-centred therapy online, which means sessions focus on listening and responding to each person's unique experience rather than giving direct advice. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore feelings, build self-trust and try new ways of coping.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple grounding and relaxation practices. These exercises can help reduce anxiety and improve sleep by offering short techniques to use during stressful moments. Trauma-focused work is used when past events continue to affect day-to-day functioning, helping people process difficult memories and develop safer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That shared planning helps make sessions relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Liz is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
