About Lizzie
Lizzie Hayes is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the UK. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. Her approach aims to make talking about difficult feelings straightforward and accessible.
She encourages a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. Conversations focus on what matters now and practical steps forward. Sessions often include looking at patterns such as attachment, control and communication styles that can make life harder.
Background and approach
Lizzie also helps people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and social anxiety. She addresses concerns about body image, guilt and shame, isolation and finding life purpose. Men’s issues and midlife challenges are among the topics she is comfortable exploring.
Her work includes supporting people through abandonment wounds, forgiveness, and rebuilding self-love. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking are common outcomes of her sessions. She balances emotional exploration with everyday tools clients can try between meetings.
Lizzie offers counselling in English and works with international clients. The first steps are a short questionnaire and a discussion to match goals and availability. She aims to make the process of starting therapy as simple as possible.

Online support
Another useful method explores past relationships and attachment patterns to make sense of recurring control issues, abandonment fears or communication problems. Working through these patterns can reduce repeated conflicts and make it easier to form healthier connections with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit best based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying different ways of working and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. Video is useful for a near face-to-face experience, phone calls can fit a short break at work, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer writing or need brief check-ins. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain regular contact with a therapist.
