Elizabeth Duffy
Supportive counsellor for stress and trauma
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Duffy greets people with a calm, straightforward approach. She writes plainly and listens closely so worries feel easier to talk about. She aims to make first steps less daunting for anyone who is unsure where to begin.
She uses a blend of person-focused listening and practical techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. Sessions often include coping strategies for addictions, trauma and anger, and support for depression and relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Elizabeth also offers help with sleep, eating issues, low self-esteem and navigating life changes. Her background spans 17 years working in mental health. She is listed with NCPS, which is noted in her credentials.
That experience informs a calm, steady style that balances listening with clear, doable steps people can try between sessions. Elizabeth draws on client-centred therapy to prioritise each person's goals and on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and habits. She also uses emotion-focused ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice and regulate feelings in daily life.
People often come for support with complex concerns such as bipolar difficulties, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviours, or issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome. She also works with matters like grief, compassion fatigue and challenges faced by first responders and those affected by disasters. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
The focus is on practical changes, steady progress, and helping people feel more able to manage whatever brought them to therapy.

Approaches for online support and practical change
Elizabeth blends client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to offer clear, actionable work online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals, which helps build trust and make sessions feel relevant. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and daily habits and offers step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behaviours.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people recognise and respond to strong feelings, and mindfulness practices to build calm and attention in daily life. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and tailor the method to a client's needs, goals and preferences so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video helps maintain face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing reflection, and text-based work can fit around busy days. These formats make it simpler to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy around family, work or travel commitments.
