Evidence-based approaches and flexible online therapy

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting issue. She employs skill-building techniques that focus on practical coping tools to reduce stress and manage anxiety, helping clients develop routines and strategies they can use between sessions.

For those coping with trauma and abuse, she applies trauma-informed methods that prioritise pacing, safety, and gradual processing so people can work through difficult memories and responses at a manageable rate. She also offers relational and attachment-focused work to explore patterns in relationships and intimacy, useful for people facing communication problems, commitment concerns, or repeated relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works together with each person to identify goals, try suitable techniques, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - appointments can fit around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Registered professionals can provide effective, evidence-informed support through these formats, enabling consistent progress even when meeting in person is not possible.
