About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and issues with self-esteem. She aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space for someone taking the first step towards change.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means the conversation and plan are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Elizabeth also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are part of her toolkit when practical steps are helpful. These can include trying out small behaviour changes and noticing unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused and psychodynamic ideas may be used when feelings and deeper life patterns need to be understood.
Elizabeth has worked with a range of concerns including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, eating and body-image issues, and ADHD-related challenges. She also helps with anger, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.
Sessions are framed around respect, sensitivity and collaboration. Elizabeth aims to tailor conversations and plans so they feel relevant and doable. People are invited to move at their own pace while working towards clearer goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding, so sessions are a space for a person to be heard and to set their own goals. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, validating presence while they talk through concerns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. In plain terms, it helps people notice repeating relationship habits and try different ways of connecting, which can aid with anxiety, trust issues and relationship difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can help with anxiety, low mood and managing stress by using small experiments and clear techniques that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-time decision.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people pick times that suit their daily routine while keeping the focus on practical goals and emotional understanding.
