About Elizabeth
Counsellor Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns, and also supports those facing grief and low self‑esteem.
Liz uses a client‑centred approach. That means sessions focus on the person and their experience rather than giving advice. She aims to listen, reflect and help clients find their own ways of coping. Sessions are 45 minutes long and take place over a period chosen by the client.
She also draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these are useful. Those tools are offered as practical skills to help with stress, sleep and managing strong emotions. Trauma‑focused work is included when needed, especially where abuse or major loss has affected someone’s life.
Liz has worked a lot with bereavement and understands how loss can be complex and difficult to name. She has experience supporting people who have lived with sexual and domestic abuse and helps them develop coping strategies and a stronger sense of internal steadiness.
Her style is straightforward and person centred. Conversations are intended to help people talk things through safely and build practical ways to manage daily life and relationships. Prospect clients should follow the site’s booking steps to start the matching process.
How client‑centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The counsellor listens and reflects rather than giving direct advice. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings around relationships, self‑esteem, grief or general life stress.Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention and breathing exercises to help reduce stress and improve sleep. These techniques can be used as short practical tools between sessions. Trauma‑focused work looks at the specific effects of traumatic events and supports people to develop safer coping patterns when memories or symptoms are distressing.
Choosing an approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change over time as needs shift.
Please check the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. Confirm the available session types and times during the matching and booking steps.
