About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Duffy is a counsellor registered as NCPS with 17 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression and a range of related concerns. She offers work focused on relationships, grief, intimacy-related issues and ADHD among other areas.

She uses a mix of approaches drawn from client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural ideas, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on clear conversations about what is happening now, and practical steps people can try between meetings. The tone is straightforward and goal-oriented rather than technical.

Elizabeth often begins by listening to what matters most and then maps out options together. That can include learning new ways to manage anxiety, spotting patterns that keep problems going, or rehearsing different responses in difficult interactions. Mindfulness is used to help with attention and stress reactions, while motivational interviewing can support change around addictions or habits.

She also works with people facing issues such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and responses to trauma or disaster. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, first responder issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and obsessive or compulsive behaviours.

Sessions and fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach involve open conversation about current concerns and priorities, helping people clarify what they want to change.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In remote sessions this often means setting small tasks between meetings, trying practical experiments and reviewing what worked to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and grounding skills. Online meetings can include short guided practices and prompts to use during stressful moments to reduce reactivity and improve sleep or focus.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and collaboratively decide which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as progress or new issues emerge.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote work to support steady practical progress without requiring in-person attendance.
