About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Harris is a counsellor registered with NCPS with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Elizabeth also offers support for trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, career worries, depression and ADHD.

Elizabeth uses a person-centred way of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on what the person wants to talk about and on developing practical steps they can try between meetings. She helps people clarify the size and effect of their problems and spot realistic solutions that fit their life.

Her approach begins by listening and by helping people name what feels difficult. From there she may introduce CBT-style exercises to test unhelpful thoughts or draw on attachment-based ways of looking at relationships. The mix depends on the person and the issue they bring.

Elizabeth understands how nervous someone can feel before their first counselling session because she has been a client herself. She aims to make it straightforward to say what matters, to notice patterns that keep problems going, and to try small changes that feel manageable.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including family problems, commitment issues, body image, and caring-related stress. Her work is practical and conversational, helping people communicate more clearly and take steps toward the goals they set in sessions.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Elizabeth blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods and attachment-based ideas. Person-centred counselling focuses on what the client brings and on listening closely to help people find their own direction. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree on which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use video or other available options depending on how they feel and what fits their routine.
