About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and with a wide range of other concerns including trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions and parenting challenges.
She spent 22 years in social care before qualifying as a counsellor in 2012. That background shaped her understanding of how illness and disability affect daily life and family roles. She draws on that experience when supporting people who are carers or who live with long-term health conditions.
Liz uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside a person-centred way of working. In early sessions she gives time for people to describe their situation and what they want to change. She then outlines practical ways of working together and discusses what might help most.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps such as noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavioural changes. She also supports people through grief, overwhelming sadness, or when thoughts of self-harm make day-to-day living hard.
Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful. She pays attention to communication, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment or isolation. People who bring concerns about sleep, eating, chronic pain, or life transitions will find those issues listed among her experience.
Appointments are organised through the online options on the profile. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule an initial session to discuss goals and practical arrangements.
How CBT and person‑centred work translate to online sessions
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try small changes in behaviour. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practising techniques between meetings and reviewing what helps with anxiety, sleep or low mood.She also works in a person‑centred way, which means the counsellor offers time to listen and reflect back what matters to you. That approach is useful when people need space to talk about grief, relationship concerns, or feeling overwhelmed by life changes.
Finding the best blend of approaches is part of the early sessions. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and work with you to choose how to proceed in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, or use shorter check‑in meetings when time is limited. The practical aim is to make sessions manageable alongside everyday commitments while focusing on the CBT exercises and conversations that support your goals.
