About Elizabeth Cooper
Please note: Elizabeth Cooper works predominantly in a busy private practice and therefore shows limited availability to avoid appointment clashes. If appointments on other days are needed, she can be asked about alternative scheduling options.
Elizabeth is a warm and welcoming relational integrative psychotherapist who emphasizes the importance of a genuine therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. She offers a personalised approach that prioritises each person’s needs, supporting clients to work through challenges and to reach their goals with compassion and clarity.
She sees early attachment patterns as central to how people relate to themselves and others, and explores how unconscious relational habits become embedded over time. Therapy with Elizabeth is framed as a learning process that helps people understand their coping strategies, learn from the past without being stuck in it, and strengthen their relationship with themselves.
Elizabeth is BACP-accredited. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body that recognises trained counsellors and psychotherapists. She is a relational integrative psychotherapist, well-being practitioner and supervisor, holding a BA (Hons) and a Science degree in counselling, and a level 7 qualification in nursing and healthcare.
Her clinical approach is informed by the Clarkson 5 relationship model and integrates ideas from psychodynamic, existential, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. She previously worked across healthcare and education settings including A&E, surgery, mental health, community health visiting, learning support, end-of-life care, social care, rehabilitation, schools and nurseries, which contributes to her holistic perspective.
Elizabeth collaborates with Relational Counselling Tadworth and also works with online services to offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples, alongside counselling supervision for students and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists. She has extensive charity experience, including roles at a domestic violence charity, a counselling charity for young people and a specialised bereavement counselling charity, where she worked as a psychotherapist, supervisor and group facilitator.
Sessions are tailored to the individual using theories, techniques and tools from a range of schools. Elizabeth supports clients to access their inner wisdom and find workable ways forward, emphasising that clients are the experts in their own lives. She regards counselling as a process rather than a quick fix and takes time to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where people can speak openly and freely.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape the ways people relate to themselves and others. It helps clients explore patterns of connection and separation, working through issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds and difficulties in close relationships to develop more secure ways of relating.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, particularly helpful for intimacy-related issues and couple dynamics. It supports people in understanding core emotions and creating new interaction patterns that foster closeness and emotional responsiveness.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages practical acceptance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values and committed action. This approach can be useful for coping with anxiety, stress, life transitions and building psychological flexibility.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth Cooper works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may draw on multiple approaches as therapy unfolds. Registered professionals will adapt methods to suit individual circumstances and priorities.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy lives or those who live internationally. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity of care and access therapeutic support from different locations while still working with a qualified therapist.
