About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Her practice also covers grief, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, career uncertainty, bipolar challenges and ADHD. Life purpose is one of the issues she helps people with.
She trained in person-centred counselling and holds a qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In an initial session she gives time for people to explain their situation and what they want from counselling. She then talks through how she might help and what working together could look like.
Her earlier career was 22 years in social care supporting people with disabilities and their families. That background shapes how she understands long-term illness, disability and the stresses on carers. It also informs her work with chronic pain, cancer, ageing and geriatric concerns, and caregiver stress.
In practice she uses CBT techniques alongside a person-centred way of working. That means she helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, and also focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational, with time to plan small steps between meetings.
People often come for help with overwhelming emotions, feeling stuck after a life change, or having trouble managing day-to-day routine. She also supports those dealing with abandonment issues, attachment concerns, codependency, isolation and feelings of emptiness. If someone is hearing impaired or coping with hoarding, she brings that experience into the work.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside person-centred ways of working. CBT involves looking at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and trying small practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and stress. Person-centred work concentrates on careful listening and reflecting back what matters to the individual. This helps clarify priorities and build confidence to try different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first. That collaborative process includes checking how techniques feel in everyday life and adjusting them as needed.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is offered before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy week and make it easier to attend from different locations. They can also allow shorter check-ins or phone contact when that suits a person better, and save travel time so sessions are simpler to schedule alongside work or caregiving commitments.
