Elizabeth Davis

Elizabeth Davis is a counsellor with 14 years of experience and a BACP registration. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting worries and life changes. Elizabeth aims to make first contact easy and to help clients feel heard from the start.

She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to tackle, with practical steps and space to reflect. Elizabeth draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her background includes long experience supporting children, teenagers and parents in community and charity settings. This work informs how she supports people through birth trauma, bonding and infant mental health concerns. She also has experience with blended family and fatherhood issues, caregiver stress and communication problems.

In the room she aims to be calm and straightforward. Conversations move at a pace set by the client and focus on small, manageable changes as well as understanding emotions. She will work through coping strategies for anxiety, grief and difficult life stages and help people explore their sense of purpose when that feels unclear.

Elizabeth currently works with parents and young people through a parent mental health charity and in other community roles. To begin, she asks clients to set clear goals and will review progress together so therapy stays relevant to daily life.

How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships affect current feelings and behaviours; this helps when patterns from the past keep showing up in parenting or close relationships. She also uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s agenda to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical experiments to change them.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit the client’s needs and goals. That choice can change over time as issues shift and new priorities emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered before booking as none are specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for check-ins between other commitments. They may also allow sessions without needing to be on camera or with a quicker, phone-style check-in when that suits the client. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the mix of listening, practical exercises and reflective work to an online setting so therapy fits everyday life.
