About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Mckenzie is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse and with life changes such as parenting and grief.

Her sessions begin with a clear conversation about what matters most. She listens to how emotions and attachment patterns show up in daily life. From there she uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people understand patterns and try different ways of responding.

Elizabeth draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how emotional connections and past wounds affect current relationships. She also uses Client-Centred methods to keep the work person-led and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for specific thoughts and behavioural changes.

Her style is straightforward and focused on small, usable steps. Typical topics include managing anxiety, working through grief, improving communication, and tackling body-image or eating concerns. She can also help people with anger, guilt or feelings of isolation.

People can expect practical discussion, review of progress, and adjustments to what they try between sessions. If you want to start, use the online matching and booking route to choose a first appointment and outline what you hope to work on.

Working with Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Informed Approaches Online

Elizabeth uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people notice and name hard-to-reach emotions and to see how those feelings shape relationships and personal patterns. EFT aims to make emotions clearer so different responses become possible. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection patterns and how they influence current bonds and responses; it helps with issues such as repeated relationship problems, trust and separation worries.

She also draws on Client-Centred principles to keep the work led by the person in the room, focusing on what feels most pressing right now. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and adapt methods as you go, checking in about what helps and what needs adjusting.

If you plan to try online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can fit more easily into a busy week, reduce travel time and make follow-up or short check-ins simpler. It also lets people join from different locations when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life.
