About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and relationship concerns, including trauma and abuse and intimacy-related issues.
Liz uses a person-centred approach. She focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own ways forward rather than offering ready-made solutions. Sessions are 45 minutes and are generally scheduled over a period of weeks or as the client prefers.
She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques when they suit a person's needs. These tools are introduced as practical coping skills for difficult moments, such as trouble sleeping, anxiety spikes or when stress feels overwhelming.
Liz has worked a lot with bereavement and with people coming to terms with major losses. That experience includes supporting people after illness, chronic health issues, and relationship breakdowns where grief and complicated feelings are present.
Her practice includes helping people address attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency and issues around body image and intimacy. She has experience supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and aims to help them develop healthier coping strategies.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centred therapy is about listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can notice their own thoughts and feelings more clearly. This approach helps when someone wants space to understand worries, low mood or relationship concerns without being told what to do.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce intense anxiety and improve sleep or focus. These techniques are offered as short exercises people can use between sessions to manage stress and panic moments.
Trauma-focused ideas mean attention is given to how past hurt affects current reactions, and practical coping tools are taught to reduce overwhelming responses. This can help people dealing with abuse, grief or long-standing trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process may change as needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It also means mindfulness exercises and grounding tools can be practised between appointments to support everyday coping.
