About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a BACP psychotherapist who offers calm, compassionate support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She works in language that is direct and simple. Liz aims to build trust and understanding so people feel able to talk about what matters to them.
She has nine years' experience helping people cope with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Her work also covers codependency, ADHD, intimate and family concerns, sleeping and eating issues, and career stress. She pays attention to how difficult experiences affect motivation and confidence.
In sessions she focuses on forming a steady, non-judgemental relationship and creating a calm space to talk. That space is used to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that keep problems going. Conversations are practical and grounded, aimed at small, manageable changes.
Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try new behaviours and clarify what matters most to them. Over time this work supports increased self-awareness and more resilience in daily life.
If someone wants a thoughtful, warm counsellor who listens closely, Elizabeth offers a collaborative way forward. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session according to availability.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or is coping with anxiety, depression or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and understood, which can support work on self-esteem and relationship issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to find what fits an individual's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few methods early on and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The biography emphasises online therapy, but it does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the exact options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or care responsibilities. They also reduce travel time and can make brief check-ins or regular appointments easier to sustain alongside everyday commitments.
