About Elizabeth
Counsellor Elizabeth Burgess is a BACP member with 13 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with anxiety, trauma and abuse, low mood and self-esteem issues, grief, stress and major life changes. She also has experience supporting people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns.
Elizabeth uses an attachment-based way of working. She focuses on how relationships and early experiences can shape current patterns. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and reactions so they become easier to manage day to day.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters most to each person and helps them name problems and think about small changes to try. Practical coping strategies are discussed alongside looking at deeper relational patterns.
Sessions usually involve talking through recent difficulties, reflecting on past experiences that still affect life now, and trying out different ways of responding. People find this helpful for reducing anxiety, handling grief, and coping with stressful change.
Elizabeth accepts people from the UK and international clients who communicate in English. To start, clients follow the site steps to match and book a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Attachment work and remote counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It helps when someone struggles with anxiety, trust, or repeated relationship patterns that leave them feeling stuck.In online sessions this approach is used to notice how people describe their relationships in the moment and to try different responses. The therapist will help identify patterns and rehearse alternatives in conversation. This can be useful for grief, stress, and coping with life changes as well as trauma-related difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care for people who cannot attend in person.
