About Elizabeth
Counsellor and BACP member Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, self‑esteem, motivation and confidence. She also supports work on stress, anxiety, intimacy issues, sleep and anger.
Elizabeth uses straightforward talking and listening in the room. She focuses on what people want to change and on small achievable steps they can take. Sessions are aimed at making difficult problems easier to manage day to day.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept feelings while focusing on chosen values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Attachment‑Based work helps people understand how early relationships affect current connections.
Elizabeth also uses client‑centred and mindfulness techniques to slow things down, help people feel heard, and build clearer coping habits. She can work with issues around ageing, chronic pain, autism spectrum-related concerns, codependency, communication problems and separation among other areas.
Sessions are held in line with UK counselling practice and with the BACP membership she lists. Conversations are in English. For international clients, arrangements can be discussed before booking.
How therapeutic approaches guide online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away. It focuses on actions that match what matters to the person and can help with anxiety, stress and motivation problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thinking, feelings and behaviour. It uses short exercises and practical tasks to test new ways of responding to stress, sleep issues or anger.
Attachment‑based work focuses on patterns from early relationships that affect current connections. This can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and commitment worries.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things move forward.
