About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working. She combines practical talking techniques with mindful awareness to help people notice what matters and make clearer choices. Lizz keeps sessions simple and direct so conversations feel useful from the first meetings.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based perspectives to support people facing relationship strain, family problems and parenting challenges. Sessions also address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties with intimacy and sleeping.
Background and approach
Lizz offers help for people dealing with career pressures, anger and compassion fatigue too. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She invites people to talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings and to try small, practical steps between sessions.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when they fit the person’s goals. With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Lizz is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in English and also accepts international clients for online work.
Sessions can be arranged by video call, telephone, live chat or text messaging. Many people come wanting clearer communication, better boundaries or relief from worry. Lizz helps to set achievable goals and to build skills that can be used day to day.
She aims to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to each person’s life.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is useful for managing worry, sleep problems, anger and day-to-day stress by testing ideas and trying new habits between sessions.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting and responding. This perspective can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, communication problems and commitment worries.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then suggest ways to proceed. This collaborative process means methods are adapted to fit each person rather than applying a single technique.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
