About Elizabeth McKenzie
Elizabeth McKenzie approaches therapy with a focus on making the first contact as comfortable and straightforward as possible. She understands that reaching out can feel intimidating and aims to create a welcoming space where difficult feelings and experiences can be explored at a pace that feels right for each person.
Working with the client at the centre of the process, she builds an open, nonjudgmental relationship that supports honest reflection and practical change. By encouraging self-acceptance and helping people to notice what matters most to them, she supports steps toward a life that feels more aligned with their values and goals.
Elizabeth draws on experience from the charity sector, where she supported people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That work reinforced the importance of truly listening - she believes being heard and understood helps people face challenges and make meaningful changes. She aims to empower clients by providing space to be themselves and supporting them in whatever way they need.
Elizabeth holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and uses compassionate, evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Elizabeth uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathic environment where the client's experience guides each session. This approach focuses on listening, validation, and collaborative exploration of feelings, and it can be helpful for people struggling with self-esteem, life transitions, or relational concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and stress. For those affected by past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted ways to process traumatic experiences and build coping skills to reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Elizabeth works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will consider which techniques feel most useful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote support. These formats make it easier to access regular, consistent care from registered professionals while fitting therapy into everyday life.
