About Lizzie
Lizzie Hayes is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients.
Lizzie focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings and reactions. She aims to make conversations straightforward and practical. Clients often bring problems such as trouble managing frustration, recurring guilt, or the aftermath of loss and trauma.
Her approach is person-centred and grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In sessions she listens to what matters most, then helps people try out different ways to respond to stress and anger. That can mean learning simple breathing and grounding strategies, practising new ways to talk about hurt, or slowly testing out different choices when emotions spike.
Lizzie also addresses related themes such as attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, communication problems, and control issues. She works with matters like midlife change, men’s issues, social anxiety and panic attacks. Her focus is on practical tools and clearer understanding, not quick fixes.

How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Lizzie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach she uses helps people recognise the patterns that lead to anger and try out different responses. This involves noticing triggers, testing new reactions, and reflecting on what works over time.Another useful technique focuses on grounding and regulation skills. These are short, repeatable exercises that reduce immediate intensity and help a person stay present during heated moments. They are often paired with simple breathing work and attention shifts to make strong emotions easier to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lizzie treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will discuss options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as sessions reveal what helps most.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, and use quieter surroundings. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to be on camera or not, depending on what suits them.
