Elizabeth Mckenzie
Compassionate, practical therapy for everyday struggles
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie uses a person-centred approach to make therapy feel straightforward and humane. She combines practical tools with careful listening to help people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. Elizabeth holds BACP accreditation and draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She works with people facing relationship tension, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to each person, with clear goals and simple steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Elizabeth aims to make therapy a space for steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work often addresses eating concerns, grief and anger, as well as challenges like ADHD and coping with life changes. Attachment issues and communication problems are explored to improve how people connect and relate.
Elizabeth also offers support around body image, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She blends several approaches to fit the client’s needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, while emotionally-focused ideas help name and process strong feelings.
Psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives are drawn on where past experiences shape present behaviour. Elizabeth keeps things practical and collaborative. She helps people set small, achievable aims and checks progress together.
The aim is clearer thinking, calmer responses and more satisfying relationships over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Elizabeth often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice thoughts and try practical experiments that change moods and behaviours. CBT tends to focus on clear steps you can practise between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression and social fears.She also uses emotionally-focused approaches to help people identify and name strong feelings and work through relationship or attachment concerns. This approach helps where patterns of relating or past hurts keep causing distress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expressions and body language when that matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can feel simpler for a short check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief reflections between meetings or when writing things feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
