About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with relationships, family tensions, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, sleeping problems and anger. Lizz also supports those facing career pressures and compassion fatigue.
She prefers clear, straightforward conversations. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Lizz aims to reduce immediate stressors and build everyday strategies for managing strong feelings and difficult interactions.
Lizz uses approaches that encourage action and present-moment awareness. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and act in line with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding.
Attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice guide how she explores connection, trust and communication in relationships. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with overwhelming feelings, sleep problems and chronic stress.
Her work also covers a broad set of related concerns, including aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. People who prefer to work in English can be supported, and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Clients can expect work rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small actions that reflect their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, and tries practical experiments to reduce unhelpful reactions.These approaches are used collaboratively. The therapist helps each person identify what matters, what gets in the way, and which strategies to try first. Over a few sessions the plan is reviewed and adjusted according to what works for the individual.
Session formats are not detailed in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone join from a quieter room. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, CBT and mindfulness exercises for remote sessions so practical skills are still practised between meetings.
