About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Harris is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She holds NCPS credentialing and draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
She combines a client-centred way of working with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice patterns, try small changes and find solutions that suit their life.
Background and approach
Conversation is straightforward and practical, with space to talk about emotions and everyday pressures. Elizabeth is comfortable discussing parenting concerns and family-related stress with individual clients. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, career transitions and challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism and attention differences.
Her approach attends to how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviours. Having been a counselling client herself, she understands how hard it can feel to start. She tries to make the first sessions calm and simple, focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her.
The aim is to help people become clearer about problems and to identify realistic next steps. Practical tools and reflective conversation are both part of her work. Sessions can include behaviour-focused exercises, talking through relationship patterns, and slower exploration of past experiences that still affect daily life.
Clients are invited to lead the pace and direction of therapy.

Approaches that shape online counselling
Elizabeth often uses a person-centred way of working and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel understood and able to steer the conversation; it helps when someone needs space to clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at practical patterns - thoughts, feelings and behaviours - and helps people try small, testable changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss goals and preferences with each client and together decide which methods fit best. That collaborative choice means therapy is tailored to the person's needs rather than a fixed programme.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see and hear the counsellor for fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be helpful when a lower-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection and people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and everyday life, offering flexibility while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
