About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people with relationship strain, family difficulties, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress. Lizz aims to make it easier for someone to take the first step towards change by offering steady support and straightforward listening.
In sessions she creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them without feeling judged. She uses everyday language and practical questions to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. That might include looking at thoughts and behaviours, practising present-moment awareness, or clarifying personal values to guide choices.
Lizz draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people manage difficult feelings and reduce unhelpful thinking. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches when building trust and exploring how past relationships affect current ones. Mindfulness techniques are offered to support stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including coping with life changes, intimacy issues, career stress, anger, compassion fatigue and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She also supports people facing chronic illness, codependency, separation, and communication problems.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Lizz encourages small, manageable steps between meetings and checks in on what is working for each person. She helps people identify realistic goals and practical ways to move towards them.
Approaches that guide online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps towards those values while living with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship experiences shape current connections and can help with intimacy and communication struggles.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches collaboratively. Clients are invited to feed back on what works so the plan can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into work or family routines, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. It also lets sessions focus on practical exercises, short check-ins or longer conversations depending on what someone needs that week.
