About Elizabeth
Counsellor and BACP member, Elizabeth Davis has 14 years' counselling experience and a long background working with children and families. She helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, family and blended family problems, and fatherhood concerns.
Elizabeth trained as an integrative counsellor and holds additional qualifications in trauma-informed work with children and young people and an MA in Infant Mental Health. She has practised in community and voluntary services for over 30 years and has 13 years of charity counselling experience. Her current role is with a parent mental health charity in the UK.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions focus on what feels most useful, whether that is talking about past experiences, practical coping strategies, or short-term solution work. She pays particular attention to early relationships and how they shape current difficulties.
In work with parents and carers she addresses antenatal and postnatal concerns, birth trauma and bonding. She uses recognised methods to support infant mental health and parenting challenges, and to help when grief or trauma affect family life.

How her approaches inform online counselling
Elizabeth draws on attachment-based work which looks at early relationships and how they affect current feelings and behaviour. This approach can help with parenting, bonding, attachment difficulties and the effects of early loss or separation.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on careful listening and reflecting what a person says, and cognitive behavioural techniques that offer practical ways to manage anxiety and stress. Client-centred work helps people speak through concerns, while CBT gives specific coping steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Elizabeth will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and plan sessions with the client so the work reflects those choices. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few meetings.
