About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Duffy meets a parent where they are and focuses on practical help for everyday strains. She listens without judgement and helps people find clearer ways to cope with stress, anxiety and difficult emotions. Her approach aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful, not overwhelming.

She draws on 17 years of experience and uses simple, evidence-informed tools to help people manage addiction, trauma, anger and low mood. Sessions often include gentle ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and to try small changes that can improve day-to-day life. Elizabeth uses methods that support emotional connection and motivation to change.

People who bring concerns about parenting, grief, intimacy, eating or sleeping problems will find direct, practical support. She also works with matters such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, workplace stress and identity issues related to LGBT concerns. The emphasis is on clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Elizabeth takes a collaborative stance. She helps people set priorities and choose strategies that match their life and preferences. Conversations are intended to be paced so clients feel in control of the work.

Before booking, people are encouraged to check the session arrangements and scheduling details so they understand how therapy will fit into family life and other commitments.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the clients experience at the heart of each session and involves open listening and reflection to help people feel heard. This approach suits anyone who wants a supportive space to talk through parenting worries, grief or relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and compulsive habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods best match their goals, needs and preferences. That may mean trying one method first and adjusting as progress is made.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or busy days, and can reduce travel time. Some formats may allow shorter check-ins or calls that do not require video, which can suit different routines and energy levels.
