Liz Elshaw

Liz Elshaw is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She supports people facing parenting strains, ADHD, addiction concerns, relationship and family difficulties, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disasters. She aims to make the first step feel less daunting and offers steady support as people begin to talk about what matters to them.

She trained in the United Kingdom and has six years of professional therapeutic experience. In session she focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they think and feel. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with emphasis on practical steps as well as emotional processing.

Liz uses a mix of approaches so sessions feel adaptable to different problems. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and create workable action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work inform discussions about relationship patterns and how to build safety in connections.

Sessions typically combine gentle exploration with hands-on strategies. The counsellor also has experience supporting people with autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder when those issues are part of what brings someone to therapy. People often come for help with grief, overwhelm, low confidence or repeated cycles they want to change.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, reflects, and helps set clear steps the client can try between sessions. If you decide to start, the focus will be on making steady, realistic progress that fits your life and goals.
