Emotionally-focused ideas are used to name feelings and increase emotional connection within important relationships.

Approach and online options for therapy
Elizabeth uses narrative ideas to help people make sense of their experiences and change the stories that limit them. Narrative work focuses on the meanings people give to events and can help with issues like depression, shame and life transitions.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect emotions and behaviour. This approach helps with anxiety, trouble trusting others, and struggles with emotional connection. Client-centred therapy underpins her way of working, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads and the counsellor follows their priorities.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts tools as the relationship develops and reviews progress together.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions easier to fit around life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging suits regular, brief contact between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for them.
