About Liz
Liz Elshaw is a UK counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of professional therapeutic experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD and motivation. She also supports people facing relationship and family strain, addictions, eating issues and anger. Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In practice she listens to what matters most and works with emotions and patterns people notice in their lives. That can mean naming feelings that are hard to pin down, or trying small changes to reduce stress and low mood.
Clients who have experienced trauma, abuse or major life changes can work on coping strategies and managing strong emotions. Liz also has experience with autism, autism spectrum conditions and ADHD and attends to how these affect everyday routines and relationships. She offers practical ideas alongside emotional reflection.
The work is client-centred and collaborative. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change and what might help in day-to-day life. Liz aims to make sessions straightforward and understandable, with time to talk things through and plan next steps.
If someone is ready to begin, the usual route is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on recognising and working with core emotions and attachment patterns. It can help when people find the same painful patterns repeating in relationships or in how they respond to stress.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It often supports coping with anxiety, low mood or ongoing health challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and emotional responses, and can be useful for rebuilding trust in close connections.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That might mean focusing more on emotions, working on practical skills, or combining elements from different methods.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit better around everyday life. It can allow shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break or fewer journeys to appointments, depending on the format offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt exercises for remote sessions so practical tools can be used between meetings.
