About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Harris is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem, life changes, parenting pressures, and anger. She also supports those facing career concerns, depression, ADHD and a range of relational and identity challenges.

Elizabeth practises mainly in a person-centred style and also uses cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what feels difficult and on practical ways to reduce distress. She encourages people to have an active role in deciding goals and options for change.

Her background includes work with attachment-related difficulties, communication problems, and blended family issues. She also has experience addressing caregiver stress, body image concerns, and problems linked to abandonment or commitment fears. Elizabeth draws on different methods to match the issue at hand rather than following a single script.

In a session she aims to help people understand how a problem affects their daily life. That might mean identifying patterns that keep problems going, trying small changes between sessions, or looking at past experiences that shape current reactions. Conversations are practical and down to earth, focusing on steps a person can take now.

People new to counselling are invited to start at a pace that suits them. Elizabeth says she understands the unease of beginning therapy because she has been a client herself. The initial work often centres on clarifying what matters most and agreeing simple, realistic goals.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people who notice recurring trust, closeness or distance problems in relationships and in how they manage anger or conflict.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person in charge of their goals. It involves careful listening and reflection to help someone clarify what they wants to change and decide practical next steps.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple strategies for testing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural changes between sessions to reduce distress.

Deciding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That conversation often begins in the first sessions and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the exact online or remote session formats before booking because the biography did not list specific options. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove the need to travel for an appointment. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and help plan sessions around work, family and daily demands.
