About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works in a person-centred way that keeps the client's experience at the heart of each session. She is a BACP member and shapes conversations around what matters most to the individual. Sessions are 45 minutes and paced to the person's needs.
Liz focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and the effects of abuse. Her practice covers intimacy-related concerns, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, career questions and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her work emphasises listening, empathy and non-judgement. Liz helps people notice their own strengths and build practical coping strategies. She uses mindfulness and relaxation tools when these feel helpful alongside a person-centred approach.
Liz has four years of experience working with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including bereavement and compassion fatigue. She has supported victims of sexual and domestic abuse and offers focused help around addiction, ADHD and attachment-related worries. People who choose Liz can expect a steady, supportive presence and help to develop internal resources for change.
She aims to walk alongside people while they make sense of difficult events and begin to move forward. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom and are delivered in English. Therapy is arranged by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to therapist availability.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Elizabeth uses person-centred therapy and mindfulness in her online practice. Person-centred work focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It helps with feeling understood, building self-worth and finding personal ways to cope rather than offering direct advice. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and manage anxiety symptoms; these tools can also support sleep and concentration.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and current struggles and then together decide which methods to try. This means sessions can change over time as needs evolve, with an emphasis on practical strategies that feel useful to the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter reflections, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and family commitments, travel or mobility limits.
