Liz Elshaw, BACP

Liz Elshaw is a UK counsellor with six years of therapeutic experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low mood and struggles with motivation or self-esteem. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them.

Her work often focuses on practical ways to manage distress and build everyday coping skills. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas also inform how she supports people through painful relationships and loss.

Sessions are guided by what each person needs. She aims to listen first, then help shape goals that feel realistic and meaningful. Conversations are straightforward and tailored, rather than relying on jargon or one-size-fits-all techniques.

She has particular experience supporting people with attention differences including autism and ADHD, and with issues connected to addiction, trauma and family life. She also works with those dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress and major life changes.

Liz is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions based on the scheduling process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasises values and small actions that move life in a wanted direction, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and motivation issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, often helping with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels helpful. Together they will try approaches that match those aims and adjust as needed in ongoing sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. If you are interested in online meetings, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care while balancing day-to-day demands.
