About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or relationship strain. She makes space for clients to describe their situation and what they want to change. Liz keeps language simple and sessions focused on small, achievable steps that fit into everyday life.
She trained in the UK and holds BACP accreditation. Liz has 12 years of counselling experience and many more years working in social care. That background shaped her understanding of how illness, disability and caring responsibilities affect daily life and relationships.
Liz uses person-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In practice that means she listens first, then helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of doing things. Sessions combine discussion, practical strategies and gentle reflection rather than heavy theory.
Her experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, self-harm thoughts, grief and codependency concerns. She also works with those facing chronic illness, caregiving stress, addiction-related issues and questions about life purpose and isolation.
When you first meet she will give time for your story and for you to say what you hope to get from counselling. Together you will agree what to focus on and how to measure progress. Many people find this steady, collaborative pace helpful when life feels hard to manage.
How CBT and person-centred work online
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress because it focuses on small, testable steps that can change how someone thinks and acts.She also draws on person-centred principles, which put the client's experience at the heart of each session. That approach means the therapist listens, reflects and helps you find your own answers rather than directing every choice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and jointly decide whether to focus more on CBT exercises or on reflective, person-centred conversation. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as your needs change.
The practical benefits of online sessions should be checked before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. In general online counselling can help fit therapy around work, caring or medical commitments and reduce travel time. It can also make shorter check-ins easier to schedule and allow people to choose quieter times of day for conversations. Confirm the available session formats when you arrange your first appointment.
