About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cooper is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, and a wide range of related concerns including intimacy and LGBT issues.
She approaches therapy as relational work. Elizabeth pays attention to how early attachments shape present patterns. She helps clients notice unconscious habits that repeat in adult relationships and in how they relate to themselves.
Sessions tend to focus on naming feelings and understanding bodily and emotional responses. Elizabeth uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. DBT skills and existential perspectives are also part of the mix when they suit a person’s needs.
Her background includes roles across healthcare and education settings, such as A&E, surgery, mental health services, community health visiting, learning support, rehabilitation, end-of-life care, schools and nurseries. She also has experience in domestic violence, young peoples' counselling and bereavement services.
Elizabeth describes therapy as a process of learning about yourself rather than a quick fix. She aims to help people become more self-aware, understand how their body and mind interact, and practise new ways of relating that feel more manageable.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based work. EFT focuses on identifying and naming emotions in the moment to shift patterns in close relationships. ACT helps people clarify values and take small actions that align with what matters to them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and helps people notice repeating patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to use. That way the focus can change if something else would help more as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to book around work or family commitments. If you need to check-in quickly or prefer not to be on camera some options may suit you better than others. The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to support ongoing therapeutic progress and to make sessions more convenient for everyday life.
