About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Cooper is a warm, approachable counsellor who focuses on building a trusting relationship first. She aims to make people feel heard and understood while they work on relationship worries, grief, trauma, self-esteem, anxiety, depression and other life stresses. She uses a relational style that looks at how early attachments shape how people relate now.
That means talking about patterns that repeat in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula. Elizabeth draws on a range of therapeutic ideas, including existential thinking, acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based perspectives, client-centred care and techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy. She describes therapy as a process of learning more about yourself so you can respond differently in daily life.
Her background includes eight years in mental health and social care, plus work in hospitals, community services, bereavement support and domestic violence services. She holds a BA (Hons) and a science degree in counselling and is accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she aims to help people notice mind-body links and to develop self-awareness.
The focus is practical: understanding patterns, building coping skills and finding ways to make life feel more manageable. She encourages people to use what they learn between sessions to support lasting change.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It supports work on life purpose, grief, and feelings of isolation by encouraging honest reflection and clearer choices.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match your values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and stress when someone wants practical strategies to keep living a meaningful life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help people understand recurring relationship patterns and learn different ways to relate to others and themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions collaboratively. That way the plan can change as needs evolve rather than sticking to one method from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls let you use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for ongoing support, quick reflections or when writing helps to organise thoughts. Many people find a mix of formats keeps therapy useful and manageable alongside everyday life.
