About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie is a counsellor who draws on Systemic therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based approaches. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and low mood. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
Elizabeth works from the United Kingdom and communicates in English. With three years of professional experience she helps people facing trauma, grief and parenting pressures. She also supports those dealing with body image, self-esteem, eating concerns and anger.
Background and approach
Elizabeth typically adapts her way of working to each person's situation rather than using a single rigid method. Sessions focus on the issues you bring and practical ways to manage them. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and from emotionally-focused work to look at feelings and attachment patterns.
Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client and realistic steps they can try between meetings. Elizabeth places emphasis on respect and sensitivity in the room. She listens for what people value and helps them identify small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her aim is to help clients build confidence, improve communication and find clearer ways to cope with life changes. People often start by describing a single problem such as anxiety or relationship strain. Over time the focus can broaden to include grief, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety or questions about life purpose.
Elizabeth invites clients to work at their own pace while she supports practical progress.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and their situations, helping identify how interactions and roles affect stress and relationships. It can be useful when difficulties involve repeated cycles of communication or emotional reaction.Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current feelings and closeness. This approach helps with trust, grief, social anxiety and problems with self-worth by exploring emotional needs and how they show up now.
Client-centred therapy puts the person's own goals at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what they hear so people can clarify values, make decisions and try small changes at their own pace.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new issues come into view.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
