Lizzie Hayes, NCPS

Lizzie Hayes is a counsellor with NCPS credential and 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Lizzie aims to make it easier to begin talking about difficult feelings and moments in life, including midlife shifts and their impact.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what matters to them. In sessions she listens closely, helps people organise their thoughts and works with them to find practical ways to cope. Conversations often cover how past hurt affects present choices and relationships.

Lizzie has supported people through acute stress, panic and post-traumatic reactions. She also helps those dealing with anger, shame, isolation and struggles around body image and self-worth. Topics such as attachment and abandonment often come up for exploration in therapy.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focused on what is useful for each person. Lizzie partners with clients to set goals and test small changes between sessions so progress feels manageable.

She has worked in UK settings for many years and accepts international clients who can work in English. If someone is ready to begin, Lizzie asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session that fits their schedule.

How evidence-based techniques can work in online therapy

Many of the evidence-based therapeutic techniques Lizzie uses focus on clear thinking, gradual change and understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. For example, approaches that help people process traumatic memories aim to reduce the hold those memories have on everyday life by working through them in a paced way. Techniques for anxiety and panic focus on learning practical strategies to manage symptoms and reduce avoidance over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lizzie treats the choice of methods as a collaboration and will discuss what fits a person's goals, history and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something is not helping.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. It can also make it possible to continue work with a therapist if someone has moved or is living in another country and can work in English.
