About Lizzie

Lizzie London is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She presents therapy as a partnership and encourages people to use their own strengths as the basis for change. Her credential is BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She believes reaching out for help takes courage and that small steps add up to meaningful change. Sessions focus on practical conversations about what is getting in the way and on building skills to cope day to day. Lizzie aims to create a calm, steady space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

Her seven years of experience include supporting people through loss and relationship strain and helping with anxiety and stress management. Lizzie also works with people worried about attachment, codependency and communication problems. She is familiar with issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress and body image concerns.

Therapy tends to blend listening, reflection and practical tools to help people make different choices. Lizzie encourages goal-setting that feels realistic and relevant to each person’s life. She emphasises collaboration and checks in about what is helpful as therapy progresses.

To begin, people are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability and the subscription model in use.

How evidence-based methods work online

Many of the techniques Lizzie uses are drawn from well-researched therapeutic approaches that focus on thinking patterns, coping skills and emotional processing. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thought habits and teach ways to test and change them to reduce anxiety and rumination. Skills-based approaches concentrate on practical tools such as breathing, grounding and activity planning to manage stress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can change as the work progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online options can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or reducing time out of a working day. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with BACP registration, commonly use these approaches effectively when working remotely, while adapting timing and tools to suit each person.
