Lizzie London, BACP

Lizzie London is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She values each person’s own knowledge of their life and looks for strengths to build on. Lizzie speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

With seven years of experience she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness and pain, cancer, caregiver stress, body image, attachment and abandonment issues, and communication problems. Her practice also includes work with people exploring alternative sex cultures such as BDSM and kink, and those affected by personality-related difficulties such as avoidant or antisocial traits.

Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce unhelpful patterns, increase coping skills, and improve day-to-day functioning. Lizzie explains options clearly and helps people try methods that feel doable in everyday life.

She recognises that change can be difficult and that small steps matter. Lizzie aims to create a straightforward space where people can talk things through, try new ways of being, and notice progress over time.

For people living with long-term health challenges, Lizzie can address the emotional impact of chronic pain, illness and disability, and support coping with health-related loss and role changes. She encourages realistic goals and flexible pacing to match a person’s energy and circumstances.

How evidence-based methods fit into online therapy

Lizzie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use day to day. One common approach she uses teaches practical coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing work, activity planning and breaking problems into smaller steps. These methods help when worry or overwhelm make it hard to get things done.

Another approach centres on understanding patterns in relationships and attachment. This involves noticing how past experiences shape current reactions and then practising different responses to communication or conflict. It can be useful for improving connection and reducing repeating cycles that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or adapt methods so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or health needs, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also let people try talking therapies without rearranging their whole routine, while the therapist and client agree a pace that matches the person’s energy and daily life.
