Liz Elshaw , BACP

Liz Elshaw is a UK-trained counsellor with six years of professional therapeutic experience and a BACP membership, indicating affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked directly with people who are autistic and with those who have ADHD, and she brings that experience into work with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression.

Her practice centers on creating an open, non-judgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. She combines professional training with a supportive manner to help people make sense of difficult emotions and life challenges, and she tailors her approach to each person's circumstances and goals.

Recognising that seeking help takes courage, she offers steady support through the early steps of change and throughout the therapeutic process. Her aim is to help clients build clarity, strengthen coping, and move toward a more satisfying and manageable life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional bonds, exploring how early and current attachments affect present-day patterns and helping to improve connection and trust in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, non-directive stance from the therapist, offering understanding and acceptance so clients can explore their own solutions and build self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Liz Elshaw works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or other convenient locations while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship with a licensed professional.
