About Lizzie

Lizzie Hayes helps people address stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and anger through practical talking therapy. She approaches sessions in an open way where clients can share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Lizzie is accredited with the NCPS and has 15 years of professional experience in the UK.

Over those 15 years she has supported people through loss and traumatic events, and helped them manage panic, post-traumatic stress and ongoing anxiety. She also works on issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image and self‑worth. Sessions include straightforward conversation about what is causing distress and what might reduce it.

Her work often focuses on day-to-day coping skills and clearer communication. That can mean looking at patterns that maintain anxiety, practising techniques to reduce panic, or talking through relationship difficulties and control issues. She will also address shame, guilt and problems with forgiveness when these come up.

People who want support for life-stage concerns can bring issues like midlife crises, questions about life purpose or men’s specific pressures. Lizzie also helps with social anxiety and isolation, and with rebuilding self‑love after a hard period.

Sessions are conducted in English and the practice accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions operate on a cancellable subscription model. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

She works with evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves teaching coping skills and calming strategies that reduce panic and manage anxiety symptoms; this helps people regain control over immediate distress. Another common focus is processing traumatic events and their effects through careful, paced conversation to reduce ongoing stress and post‑traumatic symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how each approach might help, and will agree a plan with the client. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs rather than assuming one method fits all.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and to keep continuity when travel is difficult. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online work useful for shorter check‑ins, quieter conversations, or when arranging sessions around work and family commitments.
