About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Brereton is a BACP and NCPS member in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, grief and relationship and identity concerns. She also supports people facing addictions, career pressure, depression, ADHD and life changes. Elizabeth accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
She listens without judgement and aims to guide rather than direct. Her main approach is person-centred work, where the client is treated as the most important person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful to tackle unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
Elizabeth draws on long personal and professional experience, and describes herself as straightforward and down-to-earth. She says few things will faze her and she meets people as they are, helping them become the person they want to be. That practical outlook can suit people who need clear, steady support for difficult emotions such as anger, trauma and shame.
In sessions she combines listening with practical tools. This can include talking through patterns that lead to angry outbursts, testing alternative responses, and setting small steps to try between meetings. She also addresses related issues such as attachment, family of origin problems, body image, and coping after abuse.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including LGBT matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM and kink issues, caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, and recovery after domestic violence. She asks clients to choose a subscription plan that can be cancelled at any time and to start by completing a short matching questionnaire.
How her approaches work online
Elizabeth uses person-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in straightforward ways. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping the client find their own solutions. It is useful for people who need space to talk about anger, identity or grief without being judged.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to test new responses. CBT can help with managing temper, reducing avoidance, and changing unhelpful thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to use. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and any at-home steps to try between meetings.
Confirm the exact session formats when you book, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a working day or a busy week. Others prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions that do not need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use these practical options to help keep the work manageable alongside everyday life.
