About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Doherty is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems or major life changes. She also supports clients facing career pressures, confidence and self‑esteem struggles, and issues related to intimacy and grief.
She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Sessions are focused on the person's concerns and what they want to achieve.
Background and approach
The first step is often the hardest, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out. Her work draws on client-centred ideas that put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical ways of changing it.
Mindfulness and solution-focused elements are used when helpful to build coping skills and small, achievable goals. Elizabeth has particular experience supporting people with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family or relationship problems. She also works with people affected by health challenges such as cancer and with those living with autism or intellectual disability.
Sessions are offered in English and are available internationally. People can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversations that focus on what matters to them now and on practical steps forward.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss what feels most useful, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether the sessions stay focused on practical change, on exploring meaning, or on building day-to-day coping skills.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy around life. Video calls are useful for a close, face-to-face feel; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter conversations, ongoing notes between sessions, or for people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep consistency and to practise new skills in everyday settings.
