About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on everyday problems like relationships, parenting stresses, anxiety, and anger. Her practice also covers sleep difficulties, stress at work, and career-related concerns.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that keep causing trouble. Sessions often focus on what someone wants to do differently and on small steps they can try between meetings. Lizz draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Mindfulness to give practical ways of managing thoughts and feelings.
Attachment-based ideas are part of how she looks at relationship problems, helping people understand how past connections affect present reactions. Client-centred principles guide her basic stance in sessions, so the person’s priorities shape what is worked on. She also addresses longer-term or complex issues like chronic illness, codependency and difficulties with communication.
People come to her for help with anger that shows up as snapping at loved ones, building resentment, or frustration at work. She works on clearer boundaries, recognising triggers, and practicing different responses rather than promising quick fixes. Sessions aim to be plain and practical so changes can fit into everyday life.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for issues like anger, low motivation and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising thought patterns and testing new behaviours - it can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body when emotions rise.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will check goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then try methods that suit the person. That process is collaborative so adjustments can be made if something does not fit.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins if needed, or remove travel time that would otherwise make attendance difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods in video or phone formats when supported, and the emphasis is on making practical changes that carry into daily life.
