About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of each session. She offers short, focused meetings and aims to create a calm space where people can name what they are feeling and begin to make sense of difficult moments. She has four years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress and low self-esteem.
She also helps those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and with issues around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
Liz draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when they suit the client’s needs. Liz is familiar with complex loss and bereavement and offers steady support as people work through conflicting emotions. She has also worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and focuses on practical coping skills alongside emotional processing.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions are 45 minutes and can run over several weeks or be arranged to suit an individual’s preferences. The aim is to help people build inner resources and clearer ways of managing day-to-day demands.
Liz is a BACP member, which is listed as her credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and speaks English. For online work she uses a combination of video, phone, live chat and text messaging to meet different needs and routines.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability. The process is kept straightforward so people can focus on their concerns and next steps.

Approaches Elizabeth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and relaxation skills. These techniques can help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and building emotional regulation in day-to-day life.
Trauma-focused therapy is used where past events continue to affect current wellbeing. That approach offers structured ways to work through distressing memories and develop healthier coping responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then choose or combine methods in collaboration with the client to suit what they want to achieve.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into a busy life. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing about thoughts feels easier. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to attend sessions from different places at different times.
