About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and anger, among other concerns. Elizabeth offers therapy services in English and accepts international clients.
She focuses on how difficult experiences affect motivation, self-esteem and day-to-day functioning. People come to her for help with relationship and family tension, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating problems, ADHD and workplace stress. She also supports those managing long-term illness, caregiving strain and career changes.
Elizabeth uses a mix of psychological approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. In sessions she encourages practical steps alongside reflective work. Conversations cover thoughts, feelings and the everyday behaviours that maintain problems like anger or low mood.
Her practice emphasises steady collaboration. She aims to build trust and openness so clients can talk frankly about what is hard. That work often includes looking at past experiences that shape current reactions, and then practising different responses in present life.
Over time clients commonly gain clearer self-awareness and more confidence in handling stressful situations. Elizabeth supports people who want to reduce impulsive reactions, rebuild personal boundaries, or manage recurring resentment without promising a specific outcome. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide on values-based actions. It can be useful for anger that stems from rumination or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and avoiding impulsive reactions. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the conversation and supports clearer self-understanding, which can help with shame, relationship strain and self-esteem.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that feel practical and manageable. She adapts the mix of reflective work and skills training to what a person needs in the moment.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some people find video sessions helpful for face-to-face conversation, while others prefer phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a simpler check-in. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use these options to help therapy slot into everyday life.
