About Elizabeth
Elizabeth McKenzie offers support for stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She helps with grief, addictions, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career questions, bipolar and depression, ADHD, compassion fatigue and intimacy-related issues. She also has experience around family matters such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues and caregiving stress.
Elizabeth works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She focuses on listening first and letting the person set the pace.
Background and approach
She aims to build an honest relationship where people can talk about painful or confusing experiences and feel understood. Her approach is practical and tailored. She uses client-centred principles to follow what matters to the person.
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going and on psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. Sessions can include short-term solution-focused steps when people want clear goals and fast progress. Trauma-focused ideas are used when painful events need careful attention and processing.
Elizabeth balances listening with gentle guidance so people can try small changes between sessions. She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers services in English.
To begin, people are invited to complete a short questionnaire and arrange a session according to the therapist's schedule.

How Elizabeth works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and many everyday problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options with the client and agree a plan based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That discussion is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or travel, or helpful when they prefer not to travel. Online work can also make shorter check-in sessions or regular weekly work simpler to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach to suit the practicalities of each person’s life.
