About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapies with a warm, non-judgemental manner. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. Lizz aims to make the first step feel manageable and constructive.
Her approach focuses on helping people speak openly about difficult feelings. She creates a calm space where worries about intimacy, stress, anxiety, anger, or sleep can be talked through. Sessions are intended to help clients notice what matters to them and find clearer ways forward.
Lizz draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centred work. These methods support people to build values-based goals, understand patterns rooted in past relationships, and feel heard during sessions.
She also uses tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to help with practical problems like low motivation, managing upsetting thoughts, or dealing with chronic pain and illness. Together these approaches offer both reflection and hands-on strategies.
Over time Lizz supports clients who are facing life changes, career stress, or compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to concerns such as codependency, communication problems, and coping after separation. Her aim is to empower people to make choices that suit their life and values.
How therapy approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you clarify what matters most and take small steps in that direction. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present behaviour and helps you try different ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a non-judgemental, listening stance where your own pace and choices guide the work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the sessions progress.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so meetings are easier to keep. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to schedule appointments around work or family commitments. Please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are available.
