About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Duffy helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. She uses a collaborative, client-centred approach to talk through thoughts and feelings, and she has 17 years of experience. Elizabeth is registered with NCPS.

She frames sessions around what the individual wants to change and listens for what matters most to them. Elizabeth blends Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques to reduce distress and build practical coping skills. Sessions tend to focus on small, achievable steps as well as reflecting on patterns that keep problems recurring.

Her background includes work across many common concerns such as depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and parenting stress. She also addresses specific difficulties like ADHD, obsessive and compulsive behaviour, and issues linked to trauma and first responder work.

Elizabeth uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and commit to change. Mindfulness-based practices are offered where helpful to manage anxiety and improve concentration. Psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to look at long-standing patterns and how past experiences affect current relationships.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and are charged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them to clarify their own priorities and choices; it can be useful for stress, relationship concerns and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used for anxiety, depression and obsessive behaviours. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the early sessions. Elizabeth will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences, and she may combine techniques from different approaches as appropriate.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work or family commitments and removing travel time. If you are considering online counselling, confirm the precise session options before booking since the biography does not list formats; this ensures the arrangements suit your routine and technical setup. Registered or accredited professionals can make adjustments to session length and scheduling to help therapy fit into everyday life.
