About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Pickford is a counsellor who brings three years of clinical practice and a long background in working with children and families. She holds BACP accreditation which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Elizabeth aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what is worrying them and begin to understand patterns that keep causing pain. Her approach is person-centred and relational. Sessions focus on listening closely and reflecting what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Elizabeth helps people name emotions and understand how past relationships influence present behaviour. She uses this understanding to build new ways of relating to others and to themselves. Elizabeth also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape trust and closeness.
For people who have suffered trauma or abuse, she offers trauma-focused methods to help process difficult memories and reduce their everyday impact. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship struggles and intimacy issues are central concerns. In practical terms she works with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, grief, addictions and issues around parenting and self-esteem.
Conversations cover career worries and coping with major life changes as well. Sessions are grounded in straightforward talk and steady support rather than jargon. People who choose Elizabeth can expect a warm, steady tone and a focus on small, practical steps.
She aims to help each person feel clearer about choices and better able to manage difficult feelings and relationships.

Online support
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history and practical needs, then try a way of working that fits. If an approach needs adjusting, she will discuss options and adapt the plan together so it better suits the client's preferences and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, caregiving or travel.
