Liz Spencer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She uses attachment ideas to help people make sense of their reactions in relationships. Liz focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations so people can start making small, practical changes quickly.

She helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and supports people coping with grief and life changes. She also addresses self-esteem, motivation and career worries. Her work includes concerns linked to trauma and abuse and problems that show up around commitment, jealousy and infidelity.

Background and approach

Liz draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current patterns. She also uses Client-Centred techniques to keep sessions respectful and paced to each person. Mindfulness is woven into work when grounding and present-moment awareness will help reduce overwhelm.

Sessions aim to build awareness of unhelpful habits, practice new ways of responding, and strengthen emotional regulation. Conversations are collaborative and practical, with tools and reflections to try between sessions. Liz keeps language simple and concrete so progress feels understandable.

She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and avoidant personality traits. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, guilt and shame, and those exploring life purpose and self-love. Sessions are offered in English and available to international clients.

Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and follow a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Liz uses attachment, client-centred and mindfulness work online

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current habits. In online sessions this can mean noticing automatic reactions in relationships and practising new responses during conversations or exercises. This approach is useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and recurring relationship patterns.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental way of talking. The counsellor reflects what the client says and follows their lead so sessions feel paced to the person. This style suits people who need space to explore feelings about self-esteem, guilt or life direction without pressure.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple grounding and present-moment techniques into sessions. Short practices are taught and adapted for video, phone or text so clients can use them between meetings to reduce overwhelm and increase emotional stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Liz will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as progress is made. The process is collaborative and aimed at practical change.

Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, notes or when typing helps someone organise thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work and life commitments.
