About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton works from a person-centred stance to help people get clearer about what they want and how to move forward. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Lizz aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and make practical choices.
Lizz tailors conversations to the issues someone brings in. She helps with relationship difficulties, family conflict and parenting strains.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, anger and trouble sleeping. Her work includes helping people manage life transitions and career changes. Compassion fatigue and intimacy-related concerns are also areas she addresses.
Lizz has additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues, attachment patterns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and chronic pain or illness. She uses a mix of approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are described in straightforward terms during early sessions so clients know what to expect.
Lizz invites people to set small, achievable goals and to notice practical changes week to week. She supports clients to build skills that fit daily life rather than rely on technical jargon. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions at a time that suits the person.

How Elizabeth works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then suggest methods that could help. Decisions about technique are made together, and adjustments are normal if something does not feel helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend sessions around work or caregiving commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also offers ways to use mindfulness exercises and CBT tools between meetings to support steady progress.
