About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and codependency among other issues. Sessions are 45 minutes long and usually take place over several weeks or as the client prefers.
Liz uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's own experience. She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. She does not give fixed solutions but supports people to find their own ways of coping.
She also draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these tools suit a client's needs. Those methods can help with anxiety, sleep problems and building steady coping habits. Liz sometimes combines these skills with trauma-focused work for people who have had abuse, loss or other difficult events.
Liz has worked extensively with bereavement and with people who have experienced sexual or domestic abuse. She helps people process complex feelings that come with loss and trauma, and works on practical coping strategies for harder moments. Clients with low self-esteem or struggles around intimacy and communication are part of her regular caseload.
Her practice recognises that each person processes things differently. She supports people in developing inner resources, clearer boundaries and ways to manage compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, chronic illness, or caregiving strain. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person is experiencing. Online work can still use this approach by making space for someone to tell their story and notice what matters to them. Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions that help with anxiety, sleep problems and stress management. These techniques can be guided in a short practice during an online meeting. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at ways to process difficult events and reduce their daily impact; this may include grounding and coping strategies tailored to the person's pace.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative planning is revisited as therapy progresses so techniques can be adapted as needed.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are available before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit counselling into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also let a person use mindfulness practices or grounding exercises in the moment, and make it simpler to continue therapy while managing caregiving, health or mobility needs.
