About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Davis is a BACP counsellor with fourteen years of counselling experience. She works with adults, children and teenagers who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and parenting challenges. Elizabeth aims to help people make sense of difficult moments and find manageable steps forward.

She uses a tailored, person-focused approach so sessions move at a pace that suits each individual. Elizabeth emphasises practical conversation and steady support rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Her tone is calm and direct, and she seeks to create a respectful, non-judgemental space for people to talk.

Before qualifying as a counsellor, Elizabeth spent over thirty years working with children and families in community and voluntary roles. She has experience counselling in charities and currently works with a parent mental health charity, which keeps her close to everyday family concerns and early years issues.

Elizabeth has a particular interest in antenatal and postnatal matters, birth trauma, bonding and infant mental health, alongside broader parenting and teenager issues. She also helps people address attachment concerns, feelings of emptiness, relationship and communication problems, and difficulties with coping and life purpose.

In sessions she blends well-known therapeutic approaches to match what the person needs. Elizabeth encourages clients to set goals and to try small, practical changes between meetings. She describes the first step as finding a good fit, and she supports people through the early steps of working towards lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape reactions today; it can help with parenting concerns, attachment difficulties and related anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's perspective at the heart of sessions, relying on listening and empathic response to help someone find their own answers and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple, practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth aims to discuss what feels most useful in the first meetings and to test methods that suit the person's goals and style. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check progress and adapt the way they work over time.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also make it simpler to include practical material or worksheets between meetings and to maintain steady contact while people manage family or work commitments.
