Elizabeth Mckenzie

Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a compassionate, person-centred approach. She is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her professional credential. Elizabeth focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues, and she also supports those facing eating and body image concerns.

She aims to meet people where they are and tailors conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions are built around listening first, then shaping a plan together. The emphasis is on respect, sensitivity and clear goals.

Elizabeth draws on a range of approaches including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. She blends these styles to suit practical goals like managing anxious thoughts, improving communication, or coping with grief and life changes.

Her experience includes three years of professional practice in the UK, during which she has supported people with trauma and post-traumatic stress, ADHD-related challenges, and mood disorders. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, isolation, and problems with forgiveness.

Elizabeth encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on improving day-to-day functioning. She offers a collaborative space to talk through setbacks and build skills for coping, self-love and clearer relationships. Taking that first step is framed as a practical choice, and she supports people through the process.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect current feelings. It can help when trust, attachment issues or relationship patterns cause stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and often used for stress, phobias and mood concerns. Emotionally-focused work helps people name and work through strong emotions, improving communication and connection in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together based on the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. This collaborative planning means the work can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around busy schedules and keeping continuity when life is hectic. If you are considering remote work, confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. Many people find online sessions suit quieter evenings, shorter check-ins or moments when leaving home is difficult, while others prefer in-person contact; the therapist will help match format to what works for you.
