About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Duffy is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 17 years of experience. She helps people with stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and a broad range of life concerns including social anxiety and phobia.
She prefers plain, direct conversation in sessions. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people work out small, practical steps. Her work often focuses on ways to manage difficult feelings, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and rebuild day-to-day routines.
Her approach draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Client-Centred and Emotionally-Focused ways of working. That means sessions can include noticing thought patterns, practising short grounding or breathing exercises, and looking at how relationships affect feelings. Motivational Interviewing can be used when someone is weighing up change and needs clear, non-judgemental support to decide what comes next.
Elizabeth aims to be straightforward about what happens in a session. She will listen, reflect back what she hears, and suggest practical experiments to try between sessions. Sessions can help with sleep, eating, coping with grief, and many concerns that make daily life harder.
People often come with complicated histories. Elizabeth uses a mix of talking, behaviour-focused tasks, and gentle emotional work to help people make small, manageable changes. She accepts international clients and works in English, with session arrangements explained during the first contact.
How these therapeutic approaches work online
Elizabeth uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short experiments or exercises to test different ways of thinking. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can sort out their own priorities and choices.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships or attachment issues are central. EFT helps people notice emotional patterns in interactions and practise new ways of responding that reduce conflict and increase understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. That means sessions can shift over time from skills practice to deeper emotional work as needs change.
