She holds an MA in Infant Mental Health and has specialist training in trauma-informed counselling for children and young people.

Elizabeth works with adults, children and teenagers to navigate life transitions and emotional challenges. Her practice focuses on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and coping with major life changes. She has a particular interest in antenatal and postnatal support, birth trauma, bonding and attachment, infant mental health and the dynamics of blended families.

Her approach is tailored to each person or family, allowing clients to set the pace and priorities for therapy. Elizabeth aims to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect and compassion, helping clients to explore feelings, develop coping strategies and find more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and stands ready to walk alongside clients through that process.

Approaches to online therapy for families and infants

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the relationships between caregivers and children, exploring how early bonds shape emotional needs and patterns. It can be helpful for parenting concerns, bonding difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues and for supporting infant mental health.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support so individuals and families can identify their own goals and move at a comfortable pace. This approach is useful for people facing grief, life changes, guilt or feelings of emptiness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that maintain stress, anxiety and low mood. It offers practical techniques and skills to manage symptoms and develop more effective ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She draws on her experience with parents, children and teenagers to tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy families and those juggling caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of support and try different formats until a suitable rhythm is found with a registered professional or therapist.
