About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a BACP counsellor who offers compassionate, collaborative therapy for people facing anxiety, depression and life changes. She works online from the United Kingdom and aims to create a calm space where people can start to make sense of their struggles and find ways forward.
Her approach centres on building a trusting relationship. That relationship is steady and non-judgemental so clients feel able to talk about painful experiences. Elizabeth helps people notice how they think and feel, and to recognise beliefs that no longer serve them.
She draws on practical therapies such as cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centred listening. Sessions often involve finding small, manageable steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic perspectives are also used where they fit the client’s goals.
Elizabeth has nine years of experience working with people dealing with stress, trauma, addictions and grief, among other concerns. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.
People who work with her can expect gentle challenge alongside practical tools. Elizabeth encourages rebuilding confidence and resilience so everyday life feels more manageable. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short questionnaire to match and schedule sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Elizabeth blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards it. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and choosing values-based actions, which can help when anxiety, depression or chronic illness limit day-to-day life.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel stress or low mood. CBT offers practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours, useful for sleep problems, anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice may change as issues become clearer and progress is made.
