About Lizzie
Counsellor and NCPS member with 15 years' experience, Lizzie Hayes helps people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression.
Lizzie works in a conversational way. She listens to what matters to each person and talks through feelings and reactions. Sessions are practical and focused on what is happening now as well as past events that still affect daily life.
Her experience includes supporting people through loss and trauma. She also helps with panic and social anxiety, difficulties with attachment and abandonment, and struggles around body image, guilt or shame. Communication problems and issues about control and forgiveness are part of her work too.
Lizzie describes working collaboratively. She helps people name patterns and try different ways of responding. That can mean learning skills for managing panic, talking through painful memories, or finding simpler ways to handle anger and difficult thoughts.
She accepts international clients and conducts her practice in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How evidence-based approaches work in online counselling
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps. For example, cognitive approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and teach ways to test and change unhelpful thinking. They can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.An approach that addresses traumatic memories helps people process distressing events at a manageable pace. This involves talking through memories and learning coping skills to reduce their impact in daily life. It is often used for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs and goals become clearer.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and suit quieter surroundings or times when being on camera is not wanted.
