Elizabeth Cockram, BACP

Elizabeth Cockram is a UK-qualified counsellor with 15 years of professional experience working across public and private settings. She has supported children and young people within Social Services and has provided therapeutic work within the NHS, where she used approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, talking therapies, and humanistic integrative methods. In addition to her clinical roles in organisations, she maintains a private practice and offers therapy to individuals and couples online.

She specialises in relationship work, supporting couples in intimate partnerships as well as families navigating conflict and unhelpful patterns of relating. Her practice also addresses stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, phobias, and the challenges of adjusting to life changes. Elizabeth places the person at the centre of the therapeutic process and draws on different theories and techniques as needed to meet each person’s needs. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Elizabeth adopts a collaborative, client-centered stance and aims to walk alongside people as they work through difficulties. Her approach blends practical strategies with reflective, talking-based work so clients can develop coping skills, strengthen relationships, and address the emotional issues that affect daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elizabeth uses a blend of evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help people working through abandonment, attachment wounds, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the client’s own goals guide the work, supporting personal growth and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which is often useful for anxiety, phobias, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques as the work progresses so the therapy fits the individual or couple rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to suit different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and to continue regular sessions when life is busy or circumstances change.
