About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Cockram is a counsellor with 15 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She introduces herself as Libby and aims to create a calm, steady space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems or life changes. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, addiction, body image concerns, codependency and parenting strains. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Libby draws on a mix of talking therapies to suit each person. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people change thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety or depression. Client-Centred approaches keep the person’s priorities central so the sessions follow what matters to them.

Her background includes work in social services with children and young people and roles within the NHS where she used CBT and humanistic integrative methods. She also runs a private practice and has experience working with couples and individuals on relationship and family issues.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer communication. Libby aims to walk alongside people, helping them identify patterns, try new ways of relating and cope with difficult emotions. She combines straightforward conversations with specific tools when needed.

Her approach is collaborative and flexible. People are invited to set the pace and the goals they want to work toward. Booking starts via an online matching process and scheduling is arranged once that is complete.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work explores how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people understand why they repeat familiar ways of relating and how to form healthier connections. Client-Centred therapy puts the person’s own goals and priorities first, offering a listening, non-judgemental space to talk things through and clarify what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change coping habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant and try methods that align with the person’s goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and allowing sessions to be scheduled around work or family commitments. It can also make it easier to maintain continuity when routines change, provide shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to join from different locations if travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, communication and pacing so the work remains practical and focused even when done remotely.
