About Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton

Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a United Kingdom based therapist with four years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She specialises in relationship and family work, parenting support, self-esteem and motivation, and helping people navigate life transitions and the everyday stresses that can affect wellbeing. Her practice also addresses anxiety, intimacy concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, career-related stress, and compassion fatigue, along with a range of related issues such as attachment difficulties, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and challenges around communication and commitment.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and emotions can be expressed and explored. Working collaboratively, she supports clients to identify practical steps and personal values that guide change, while also offering empathy and empowerment through the process. Seeking greater fulfilment or taking the first step toward change takes courage, and she aims to accompany clients through those early and ongoing stages with patience and respect. Elizabeth integrates evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person, supporting both short-term coping and longer-term personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton draws on several well-established approaches to support clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, while clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action; it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current connections; it can be useful for intimacy issues, family conflict, and attachment-related difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to help build self-esteem and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This variety makes it easier for people to access support from home, while still engaging in consistent, goal-focused work with a therapist.
