Elizabeth Davis, BACP

Elizabeth Davis offers calm, practical support for parents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma or bereavement, and tackle parenting concerns. Elizabeth uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives.

She trained as an integrative counsellor and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with children, young people and families in community and charity settings across more than a decade as a counsellor and over 30 years in children’s services. That experience shapes how she listens and responds to family-related worries.

Elizabeth has a particular interest in antenatal and postnatal challenges, birth trauma, bonding and infant mental health. She also supports people facing grief, abuse or other painful life changes. Sessions aim to help parents and carers find clearer ways to cope and to rebuild a sense of confidence after difficult experiences.

Her way of working is flexible and tailored. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural strategies, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques where helpful. Together with each person she sets the pace and the goals for therapy.

People who meet her can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk through problems. She focuses on practical next steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Elizabeth describes taking that first step as an act of courage and offers steady support through the process.

How Elizabeth uses therapy approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotions. It helps people understand bonding, separation and patterns that affect parenting and close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and acceptance. The therapist reflects what a person says so they can make sense of their feelings and choose changes that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage stress and tackle unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which ideas to use. That collaborative planning helps shape the pace and focus of sessions so the work fits real life needs.

Confirm the current online session options with the service before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. For some people speaking without video can feel less demanding, while for others a full conversation by video lets them use gestures and facial cues. Discussing practical arrangements during the first contact helps ensure sessions work alongside everyday commitments.
