About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting concerns, and she also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are 45 minutes long and run over a period suited to the client.
Liz follows a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through feelings of low self-esteem and loss. She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques when they fit a person's needs.
Her background includes work with bereavement and with survivors of sexual and domestic abuse. That experience informs how she helps people process complicated or conflicting emotions after difficult events. She aims to help clients build stronger internal resources and more reliable coping strategies.
Sessions focus on what the client brings. Liz avoids offering prescriptive advice and instead supports people to find their own way of dealing with problems. Practical breathing and grounding skills may be taught alongside open conversation when useful.
She notes that everyone processes loss and change differently, and she adapts her tone and pace accordingly. People can expect a steady, listening presence and short regular appointments that fit into their week.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings about parenting, relationship tensions or grief without being told what to do. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple breathing and grounding exercises to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. These skills can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to work with difficult memories and reactions when past events continue to affect daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That makes sessions a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit short 45-minute appointments into a busy week. It can also allow quieter, lower-bandwidth check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on available options. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to help people practise mindfulness exercises between meetings and to check progress more regularly.
