About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Harris helps people work on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and self-esteem using a person-centred way of working and other approaches she offers. She is registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She works in a person-centred style, which means she listens and puts the client's concerns first. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas when these fit the issue. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small practical steps that can help in daily life.

Many clients come with common problems such as low mood, worry, career stress, parenting strain, or difficulties with intimacy. Elizabeth also has experience with trauma and abuse, ADHD, body image and a range of relationship and family concerns. She helps people clarify how a problem affects them and considers options that might work in their circumstances.

Her work includes exploring attachment and how early relationships influence current patterns. That can help when someone struggles with commitment, trust or communication. She combines listening with questions and reflections that aim to increase clarity and choice.

Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Elizabeth encourages people who are new to counselling to say what feels manageable and to bring practical goals. She asks people to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Elizabeth uses person-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening, reflecting and giving the client control over topics and pacing; it suits issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce worry, manage mood and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful in early sessions and will suggest ways of working together. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

The practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions into a busy week and shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep continuity of work and to try brief, focused tasks between meetings.
