About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns. She aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space where parents and adults can talk through the issues that matter to them.
She often helps people navigating relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse. She also supports those struggling with body image, eating concerns, anger and motivation. Parenting challenges and family-related stress are included among her focus areas.
Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns, Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation person-led, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. She may also use Emotionally-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas when they suit the work.
Sessions are tailored to what an individual finds most helpful, with the therapist and client shaping goals together. She places emphasis on practical steps as well as understanding underlying patterns. Her style is direct but warm, with attention to real-life challenges parents and adults face.
Taking a first step can feel hard and confusing. Elizabeth focuses on creating an orderly way forward, helping people set manageable goals and try small changes that make daily life easier.
How Elizabeth's approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people recognise and shift patterns in their close relationships; this approach looks at how early and current bonds affect feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her work by keeping the conversation led by the client, emphasising listening and empathy to help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and parenting stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as the work progresses and as practical needs evolve.
Because session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around family life, work and daily routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and sessions without video when bandwidth or screen time is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt the format to what best helps each person.
