Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton
Practical, person-centred help for relationships and life changes
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton uses a practical, person-centred style to help people navigate relationship and family difficulties. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Lizz aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Her sessions focus on everyday problems such as low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, stress and anxiety, sleep disturbance, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people coping with life changes, career concerns, and compassion fatigue. Practical communication and coping strategies are common features of her sessions. Lizz draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Mindfulness.
She adapts techniques to the person in front of her, using straightforward exercises and simple language. The aim is to help people notice what matters to them and take manageable steps towards it. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where feelings and thoughts are talked through openly.
Lizz encourages small experiments between sessions so progress can be tried out in everyday life. She works with people wanting help around family problems, parenting concerns, grief from separation or divorce, and long-term health or caregiving strains. Sessions are offered online in English and Elizabeth accepts international clients.
She supports people who want to build clearer boundaries, improve communication, and find ways to feel more steady in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and replace them with more constructive habits; it is often used for anxiety, sleep issues and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, helping people change repeated ways of relating that cause strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try different techniques together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable for everyday life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between longer conversations. These options give flexibility so people can keep working on their goals from wherever is most convenient for them.
