About Liz

Liz Spencer is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on attachment and how early relationship patterns affect current life. She has five years of experience and works in a warm, non-judgemental way to help people better understand their feelings and reactions. Liz aims to help clients build emotional strength and clearer connections with others.

Her work centres on helping people notice and change unhelpful patterns rooted in past relationships. She talks through attachment dynamics and how those show up in stress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. Sessions also address grief, low self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.

Liz uses a client-centred stance that places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. She encourages honest talk and helps people name difficult emotions. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to support calmer responses and better focus in daily life.

People bring a range of concerns such as abandonment fears, communication struggles, codependency, jealousy, or questions about life purpose. Liz listens for the patterns behind these issues and works collaboratively to build new coping strategies and clearer boundaries.

Her practical aims are to increase self-awareness, reduce overwhelming reactions, and improve relationship skills. The approach is steady and paced to each person’s needs, focusing on small achievable steps toward lasting change.

How attachment work and mindfulness translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses. It helps people notice patterns like fear of abandonment or avoidant reactions and understand why those responses feel automatic in relationships.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience first. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client make sense of feelings at their own pace. This approach suits people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. These techniques can support regulation during stressful moments and help people practise new ways of responding between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor collaborates with each person to decide which elements to use, based on their goals and what feels most helpful. This shared planning helps tailor the pace and tools of therapy.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. Online work can make it simpler to attend from different locations and reduce travel time.
