About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of each session. She is a Registered Member of the BACP, and she meets people with warmth and a non-judgemental presence. Sessions are 45 minutes and are arranged over weeks or as the client prefers.

Liz supports people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship concerns. She has particular experience in bereavement and helping people manage complex loss. She also supports those struggling with low self-esteem and difficulties finding a steady sense of self.

Her practice combines person-centred listening with practical tools when useful. She offers mindfulness and relaxation techniques alongside space for a person to make their own sense of things. The aim is to help people discover inner resources and healthier ways of coping.

Liz has worked with people affected by sexual and domestic abuse and brings understanding to the recovery process. She also addresses issues such as stress, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career changes and compassion fatigue. Attachment and abandonment concerns are included in her focus areas.

Clients can expect a steady, empathic counsellor who focuses on hearing their experience and walking alongside them. Booking follows a simple matching and scheduling process and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online support

Elizabeth's person-centred approach focuses on listening and supporting each person to explore their own feelings and choices. This method helps people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through depression, anxiety, relationship struggles and self-esteem concerns.

Mindfulness therapy involves simple breathing and relaxation strategies to reduce stress and support better day-to-day coping. Trauma-focused work aims to help people make sense of painful events and develop safer ways to cope with memories and reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use, guided by the person's goals and what feels useful in session. The process is flexible and tailored rather than fixed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel, and they allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when needed. Many people find this helps them keep continuity of care while managing everyday life.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
