About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Brereton is a compassionate, non-judgemental therapist who listens carefully and guides without telling people what to do. She works from a person-centred perspective that places the client at the heart of the therapy, while drawing on other methods such as cognitive behavioural techniques when appropriate. With six years of professional experience and as a practitioner over 60, she offers a blend of life experience and clinical skill to support people through difficult changes and decisions.

She is a registered member of the BACP and an accredited member of the NCPS, both professional counselling organisations in the United Kingdom, and brings that professional grounding to work with a wide range of issues. Elizabeth supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addictions, anger, career concerns, ADHD and coping with life changes, and she also works with LGBT issues. Her additional focus includes matters such as attachment and family of origin concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, ageing and caregiver stress, relationship endings, domestic violence, body image, and sex and kink related issues.

Elizabeth adopts a respectful, accepting stance that aims to empower clients to change or to find acceptance as needed. She emphasises collaboration, helping each person discover what they want and how to move toward it, and she combines a humanistic foundation with practical tools from CBT and other approaches to tailor the therapy to each individual.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, offering empathy, acceptance and support so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. It is especially helpful for people working through identity questions, grief, relationship issues or general life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and problems where specific patterns of thinking are getting in the way of daily life.

Trauma-Focused approaches attend directly to the impact of traumatic events and aim to reduce distress and improve coping. These methods can help people affected by abuse, violence or other deeply distressing experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be worked out collaboratively. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences and needs, and together with each client she will tailor methods and pace to fit their circumstances. Licensed professionals and therapists offer different tools, and matching those tools to the person is central to effective work.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. These options increase accessibility and flexibility, allowing people to receive ongoing support from wherever they are while maintaining continuity of care.
