Elizabeth Burgess, BACP

Elizabeth Burgess is a United Kingdom based counsellor with 13 years of professional experience and BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She specialises in supporting people who are managing anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, stress, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes, and she also offers hospice and end-of-life counselling.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and she works collaboratively with clients to set a pace that feels safe and productive. Elizabeth recognises the courage it takes to look for a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to empower clients as they take initial steps toward change. Her approach focuses on building practical coping strategies, processing difficult experiences, and helping clients find clearer ways forward.

To increase accessibility, Elizabeth offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging and accepts international clients, adapting the format to suit individual needs and circumstances.

Attachment-Informed Support and Online Counseling Options

Elizabeth uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current emotions, expectations and ways of relating. This approach helps people understand attachment needs, work through trauma-related responses, and build more secure ways of connecting and managing anxiety or low self-esteem.

She also brings focused experience in hospice and end-of-life counselling, offering compassionate support for people facing serious illness, anticipatory grief, and the emotional complexities of change and loss. That work prioritises meaning-making, practical coping, and supporting relationships during difficult transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to identify what will be most helpful based on individual needs, goals and preferences. She adapts methods and pace to suit each person.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different time zones. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow access from remote locations, and enable clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists to address their concerns.
