About Lizzie

Counsellor accredited in the UK with 15 years of professional experience, Lizzie Hayes helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. She works with individuals who are also dealing with attachment concerns, body image, isolation and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Hayes focuses on practical conversations about what is happening now and how it links to past events. She invites honest discussion of difficult feelings and helps people name patterns that cause distress. Sessions tend to emphasise straightforward tools and small changes people can try between meetings.

She has worked across settings during her 15 years in practice, supporting clients through loss, panic and longstanding worry. Hayes draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, post-traumatic stress and panic attacks in ways that fit everyday life. Her approach also covers relationship communication, forgiveness and managing shame and guilt.

People meet her to talk about midlife transitions, men's issues, life purpose and problems with control or anger. She helps people explore abandonment concerns, attachment issues and obstacles to self-love. The focus is on clear steps and strategies rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

Practical matters such as cost and session format vary by location; sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Two evidence-based approaches she uses are aimed at reducing symptoms and improving daily coping. One approach focuses on addressing the effects of trauma by helping people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity; this can help with post-traumatic stress and panic. Another approach targets anxiety and depression by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural experiments to change how situations are approached.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses the person’s goals, symptoms and preferences, and then suggests an approach to try. This may be reviewed and adjusted over time so the work matches what is most helpful.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. Remote work can make shorter check-ins easier to schedule and lets people choose quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when that helps. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly.
