Liz Elshaw, BACP

Liz Elshaw is a UK trained counsellor with 6 years of professional therapeutic experience who has supported people living with autism and ADHD. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, motivation difficulties, low self esteem and confidence concerns, and depression. Holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings a professional framework to a compassionate and person-focused practice.

Liz aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences at their own pace. She collaborates with clients to identify practical coping strategies, address relationship and family challenges, and navigate life changes with greater resilience. Recognising that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage, she offers steady support and practical guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Her work draws on evidence-informed approaches to help people build insight, develop emotional resources, and move toward clearer goals. Liz prioritises empathy, respect, and a tailored approach that honours each client s unique needs and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Liz Elshaw often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with their values. ACT can be useful for people struggling with anxiety, low motivation, or difficult emotions because it emphasises acceptance and practical steps rather than fighting internal experience.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current connections. This approach helps when relationship difficulties, family challenges, or attachment issues are at the heart of someone s concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Liz collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts her approach as progress unfolds so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life or to continue therapy when in-person meetings are not possible. These options allow clients to access registered professionals and therapists in a way that suits their schedule and communication style.
