About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of sessions. She is a BACP member and aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental presence. Sessions are fifty minutes or 45 minutes as the therapist offers, and are arranged over a period of weeks or as the client prefers. Liz focuses on helping people build steadier internal resources to cope with life.
She supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress and grief. Trauma, abuse and relationship difficulties are also areas she has helped people with. Liz has considerable experience in bereavement support and in assisting people who have experienced sexual or domestic abuse. She also encounters concerns such as low self-esteem, addictions and codependency in her work.
Her core way of working is person-centred therapy, which gives people space to notice their own feelings and make choices without being told what to do. She combines that with mindfulness and relaxation techniques when appropriate, offering practical tools clients can use between sessions. Trauma-focused ideas inform her work where past harm needs careful attention.
Clients can expect a calm, listening approach that aims to help them make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions often involve talking things through, trying small coping practices, and finding ways to strengthen day-to-day wellbeing. The emphasis is on helping each person discover what works best for them.
Liz has four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown as BACP on her profile.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Person-centred therapy focuses on giving the person space to speak and be heard. The therapist follows what matters to the client and helps them notice their feelings and choices without offering direct advice. This approach can help with low self-worth, relationship worries and life changes.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding techniques to reduce stress and ease anxious thinking. These practices can be used between sessions to manage sleep difficulties, tension and compulsive or avoidance patterns. Trauma-focused therapy looks carefully at past harm and its effects, using cautious, paced work to help people process painful memories and learn new ways of coping.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and what feels comfortable, then agree a way forward together. That might mean mainly person-centred listening, adding mindfulness exercises, or slowly addressing traumatic material when it feels safe.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them sustain regular contact while juggling everyday commitments.
