About Elizabeth
Counsellor (BACP), 12 years' experience. Elizabeth (Liz) Cook helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and related concerns using cognitive behavioural techniques alongside a person-centred stance.
Liz begins by giving people time to describe what brought them to counselling and what they hope to change. She listens for immediate practical problems and for patterns that keep causing distress. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps people can try between meetings, alongside space to talk through feelings and experiences.
Before qualifying as a counsellor in 2012, Liz worked in social care for 22 years supporting people with disabilities and the family and friends who cared for them. That background shapes how she understands long-term illness, disability and caregiving stress, and she draws on that experience when working with related issues.
Her clinical approach combines person-centred therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she attends to how someone feels and what they think and do, and works on practical strategies as well as listening and reflection.
People commonly bring problems such as relationship and family strain, parenting worries, sleep and eating issues, addiction concerns, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing bereavement, trauma, chronic illness, caregiver strain, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and are managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How CBT and person-centred work in online sessions
Her practice uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to test small practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and managing stress by teaching skills and short experiments to try between meetings.She also uses a person-centred approach that gives people time to tell their story and reflect on feelings. This approach focuses on listening and on helping clients notice their own strengths and choices rather than directing them to a single solution.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and together you decide which methods to use. That collaboration may blend listening, practical CBT techniques and agreed actions to work on between sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these formats to help people maintain continuity of care alongside daily responsibilities.
