Background and approach
Men’s issues, midlife transition and social anxiety are other areas she sees regularly. Lizzie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her style to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building everyday coping skills.
She aims for conversations that are straightforward and easy to follow. Her approach is collaborative - she and the person she sees set goals together and check progress as they go. People often work on managing panic attacks, processing post-traumatic stress or improving self-love and forgiveness over time.
Lizzie works in English and accepts international clients. She offers a range of online session formats so people can choose what fits their life and energy levels. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session to begin.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Lizzie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One approach works on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with clearer, more balanced thoughts to reduce anxiety and depression. This helps when worry, panic attacks or low mood get in the way of daily life.Another strand concentrates on processing trauma and the emotions that follow abuse or loss. It uses steady, paced conversations and coping strategies to help reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. This can be useful for people struggling with post-traumatic stress, grief or intense anger.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The counsellor will talk with each person about problems, goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. They will review progress together and adjust the plan when necessary so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping focus on steady progress.
