About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of her work. She offers a warm, non-judgemental presence and listens closely so people feel heard. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long and can continue for weeks or as the individual prefers.
Liz has four years of clinical experience and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She supports people who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship stress.
Background and approach
She also helps with low self-esteem, grief and parenting concerns. Her practice recognises that everyone processes experiences differently. She prioritises helping people build inner resources and healthier coping strategies rather than giving direct advice.
Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are offered when they suit the client and the work. Liz has particular experience providing bereavement support and assisting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. She also addresses issues such as sleeping difficulties, addictions, compassion fatigue and career-related stress.
In sessions she aims to walk alongside the person, offering empathy and a steady presence while they talk through difficult feelings. Her style is calm and straightforward, focusing on what the individual needs in the room.

Approaches Elizabeth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Person-centred and trauma-aware online therapy
Elizabeth offers a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and building the client's own resources. This means the counsellor provides an empathic, non-judgemental space so the individual can talk through feelings and decisions at their own pace.She also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm is central to the work. Trauma-focused therapy helps people put difficult experiences into words and develop practical coping strategies for flashbacks, overwhelming emotions and triggers.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide whether a person-centred stance, mindfulness tools or trauma-focused work will best meet the person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or want shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work from different locations.
