About Elizabeth
Counsellor Elizabeth Harris is a member of NCPS and has five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem problems, coping with life changes, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, career worries, depression and ADHD.
Elizabeth practises mainly in a person-centred way and also uses cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She focuses on listening and helping people name what matters to them. Sessions aim to help people spot patterns, consider options and try things that feel workable.
She knows many people are nervous about trying counselling for the first time. She says having been a client herself informs how she works. The tone is conversational, direct and based on what the person brings to the room.
In practice she helps people clarify the size and impact of their problems. That can mean breaking down a worry into small steps, testing a different way of responding, or talking through how past experiences shape present feelings.
Elizabeth draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She uses client-centred methods to keep the person in the lead. And she brings cognitive behavioural techniques when a clearer plan or skills practice is needed. These different approaches are blended to suit what the person wants to work on.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Elizabeth uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working that translate well to talking by distance. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice how they connect with others now. It can be useful for relationship problems, trust issues and intimacy-related concerns. Client-centred counselling keeps the person in charge of the pace and focus. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client find their own solutions; this suits people who want a conversational, exploratory space.Deciding which approach to try is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and how they prefer to work. This is a collaborative process and may lead to mixing approaches across sessions as needs change.
The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. Remote sessions can make shorter check-ins possible or allow people to choose not to be on camera if that helps them concentrate. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that helps people build new habits, manage distress and work through relationship patterns.
