About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, anger and related issues. Elizabeth offers therapy in English and accepts international clients.
She focuses on building a steady therapeutic relationship so people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and grounded. The aim is to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new ways of responding, and regain confidence in everyday life.
Elizabeth uses a mix of approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred work. She helps people spot thoughts and behaviours that feed anger or low mood, and practise small changes that reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Her background includes supporting people through trauma, relationship strain, and addiction-related issues. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions, and uses that understanding to inform what happens in sessions.
Practical tools are part of the work. Clients can expect to try simple exercises between sessions, reflect on what works, and adjust the plan over time. Elizabeth encourages honest, straightforward conversation about progress and setbacks so people can develop more control over stressful situations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It encourages identifying personal values and taking small actions that move life in the chosen direction, which can help with anger that comes from feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and to test different responses when anger or anxiety begin to rise.
Client-Centred work focuses on clear, respectful conversation. The therapist listens and reflects so the client can make sense of patterns and decide what to try next.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as things change.
Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking because the biography does not itemise them. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy week, doing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to make it easier to keep continuity of care and to practise new skills in day-to-day life.
