Elizabeth Burgess, BACP

Elizabeth Burgess is a UK-credentialed counsellor with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through anxiety, trauma and abuse. She works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at a pace that feels right for each person. Using an attachment-based perspective, she helps clients understand patterns in relationships and emotional responses that can contribute to stress, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties coping with life changes.

Elizabeth also has a focus on grief work and hospice and end-of-life counselling, offering practical empathy and steady support during deeply challenging transitions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process - helping clients identify goals, build coping strategies and find ways to feel more empowered in day-to-day life. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects professional standards in the UK. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients when appropriate. Elizabeth aims to support and empower people as they take the courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Attachment-Focused Care and Online Therapy Options

Elizabeth works from an attachment-based perspective, which explores how early relationships and bonding patterns influence current emotional responses and interpersonal difficulties. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with trauma, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem and grief by clarifying patterns and supporting more secure ways of connecting with others.

Alongside an attachment focus, Elizabeth practises a supportive, client-centered style that prioritises the person in front of her - listening, validating experience and helping clients develop practical coping strategies. She approaches treatment as a collaboration, working with each person to identify goals and together determine which therapeutic methods best suit their needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access support from a distance, and maintain continuity of care during life changes. Registered professionals like Elizabeth can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, goal-oriented work that aligns with each client’s circumstances and aims.
