More about Elizabeth
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a qualified, person centred, therapeutic counsellor, with an eclectic approach. I have extensive experience in working with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship issues. I recognise that everyone processes experiences individually, and in different ways. I have worked extensively with clients who are experiencing feelings of low self esteem and self worth. I support clients in developing a strong internal foundation for living well, happily and healthily.
I am familiar with the extensive, complex and often traumatic nature of loss in all its forms, and that it may involve complicated, difficult, conflicting feelings and emotions. I recognise that many life experiences, depression and other issues also involve aspects of loss. I
have worked extensively in bereavement support.
I also have specific training in supporting victims of sexual and domestic abuse. I support clients in coming to terms with difficult life events and and working on healthy coping strategies for difficult times.
My aim is to support, listen to, and truly hear clients, and to "walk with the client on their journey" (Carl Rogers). I offer empathy, and a non- judgemental presence for clients, through 45 minute sessions, over a period of weeks, or as a client prefers.
Person centred therapy does not seek to focus on one particular area of a clients' experience, or provide advice or solutions, as it recognises that each individuals' experience is completely unique. What might work for one person may not work for another. Therefore the approach is designed to provide an environment of support in which the client feels empowered to, if they wish, explore their feelings and behaviours, and develop their own inner resources and healthy coping strategies.
I am, however, also trained in mindfulness and relaxation techniques, and occasionally these skills provide useful tools to for clients to use.
I am a Registered Member of the BACP.
I look forward to speaking with you.
Take good care,
Liz Pentz.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Liz has helped me so much in the year and a half we have been having sessions , she listens and gives good advice and support.
Highly effective therapist and she literally helped to unveil many of my childhood traumatic issues and also helped me navigate through my present issues. Highly recommend her to everyone!!
Liz has been amazing in the few months she has been my therapist. I was so nervous to start therapy but she made it comfortable and easy! I feel like I've come a long way and even though I have a long way to go still Im not scared of my own thoughts or feelings anymore.
Liz has provided me with a safe space to talk. Not once has she ever put pressure on me to open up about something if I didn’t want to. She offers great coping strategies and really sympathises with my problems. Couldn’t ask for a more wonderful counsellor.
She good how realship world going. Supporting from turma from dateing world. And understand of autism as well
Liz combines great warmth with straighforward talk. Having therapy with her has really helped me through a difficult time, I am leaving our time together with the tools and the practicsed strength to go forward positively. Liz is kind without being soft and has been able to give me some great insights and truly feel supported and nurtured through this journey. Thank you Liz.
Elizabeth has been the first person that has made me comfortable enough to talk about very difficult things I never shared with anyone. It never felt like just talking to someone who's paid to listen, it always felt like talking to someone who actually cares. I am very grateful. Thank you Elizabeth
