About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, relationship and family worries, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related problems. Liz also supports those carrying guilt and shame and people coping with life changes such as caregiving or chronic illness.
She trained in person-centred counselling and holds a qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In early sessions she gives time for people to describe their situation and what they hope to change. She then outlines how she might work with them and what practical steps could follow.
Liz spent over two decades in social care before counselling, supporting people with disabilities and their families. That experience informs how she thinks about long-term illness, caring roles and the strains these bring.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations about feelings and behaviours. CBT techniques are used to help notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Person-centred ideas guide how she listens and reflects back what a person is saying.
People often come for help with sleep, eating, anger, parenting challenges, career decisions, or for difficulties linked to ADHD and bipolar. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment problems, loneliness, and finding life purpose.
Sessions take place in the UK and are run in English. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How CBT and person-centred work online
CBT focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT sessions can involve talking through recent situations, trying simple experiments between sessions, and practising new ways of responding to unhelpful thinking. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and worry about decisions.Person-centred work emphasises being listened to and having one’s feelings reflected back. In an online session this means time for someone to talk and for the counsellor to clarify what they are experiencing before deciding on practical next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then agree together on the methods to try. It is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from a quieter space or avoid being on camera if that suits them better.
