About Elizabeth
Elizabeth (Liz) Cook is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people coping with relationship and family difficulties, codependency, addiction and life changes.
Liz previously spent over two decades in social care supporting people with disabilities and their family carers. That background shapes how she listens and responds to challenges linked to chronic illness, caregiving stress and ageing. She has particular experience with trauma, anger, intimacy issues, and difficulties around eating and sleeping.
Her approach draws on person-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In an initial meeting she gives time for people to describe their situation and what they hope to change. Then she explains how CBT and person-centred ways of working might help with thoughts, feelings and day-to-day patterns.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and manageable steps. People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else's moods may find the sessions address setting boundaries and recognising personal needs. Liz aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her practice is informed by long experience with mental health challenges and caring roles. She works with adults on issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, compassion fatigue and isolation. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and practical arrangements.
How sessions work
How CBT and person-centred work translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice that means noticing thought patterns, trying out small behaviour changes and using straightforward exercises to reduce worry or low mood. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and some habit-based difficulties.Person-centred work prioritises what the person brings to the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person find their own solutions. This can be particularly helpful when people feel unheard, stuck or overwhelmed by caring responsibilities or life transitions.
Finding the right way of working is something to decide together. The therapist will talk about goals, preferences and what feels manageable. They will suggest when CBT exercises might suit a problem and when a more listening-led conversation is better, and adjust the plan based on how things go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals commonly offer remote sessions that aim to fit into everyday life without asking you to travel.
