About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and many life changes. She aims to make reaching out straightforward and gentle, so people can talk about what feels too big alone. Elizabeth works to create a caring space where someone can say what they’re feeling without fear of judgment.
She focuses on helping people notice what they want to change and take practical steps toward that life.
Background and approach
Elizabeth uses approaches rooted in talking therapies to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping. She draws on client-centred ideas to prioritise the person’s needs and perspective. Cognitive behavioural techniques can help with practical steps to shift thinking and behaviour, while psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences shape current feelings.
Her background includes three years of practice and work in the charity sector supporting people affected by domestic and sexual violence. That experience shaped her belief in the importance of being truly heard and understood. It also informs how she responds to trauma and abuse with care and attention.
Sessions can focus on short-term goals or longer personal work depending on what someone wants. Elizabeth aims to empower people to build self-acceptance and make changes that fit their life. She explains things plainly and works collaboratively to find workable strategies.
Elizabeth holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. She offers sessions in English and practises from the United Kingdom. The practical session formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term solutions, deeper emotional patterns, or a mix of methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is lower or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep the focus on practical progress.
