About Elizabeth Hughes
Elizabeth Hughes is a UK-based psychotherapist who specialises in offering therapy online. With nine years of experience, she supports people dealing with depression and anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, domestic violence, trauma, and abuse. She approaches each case with focus and empathy, recognising how these struggles can undermine motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
Her work is grounded in forming a trusting, compassionate therapeutic relationship. She aims to create a calm, empathetic space where non-judgmental care helps clients explore the issues that brought them to therapy. Through that alliance, clients are encouraged to examine how they think and feel, and to begin questioning unhelpful beliefs that no longer serve them.
Over time, Elizabeth helps people regain self-awareness and confidence while strengthening resilience and coping skills for lifeâs challenges. She is BACP-registered - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK - which reflects her professional standing within the field. If someone feels ready to take the next step, Elizabeth is available to work alongside them on a journey toward recovery and greater self-understanding.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and learn simple practices to live in line with what matters to them. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings while taking committed steps toward meaningful goals and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life transitions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens without judgment and follows the clientâs pace. This approach supports people who need a compassionate space to explore emotions, rebuild self-esteem, and improve interpersonal connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and many everyday difficulties where learning new skills can lead to measurable improvement.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her approach as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. For many people, this range of options increases convenience and helps maintain continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
