About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a qualified, person-centred therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings an eclectic approach to supporting people through difficult periods. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship difficulties, and has particular experience supporting those coping with low self-esteem and diminished self-worth. Her work focuses on helping clients develop a firmer internal foundation for living more resiliently and with greater wellbeing, drawing on the person-centred principle that each person processes experience in their own unique way.

Liz has extensive experience in bereavement support and understands the complex, often painful nature of loss in its many forms. She also has specific training in supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, helping people to come to terms with traumatic events and to build healthy coping strategies for hard times. In session she offers empathy and a non-judgemental presence, aiming to truly listen and to "walk with the client on their journey," following the spirit of Carl Rogers.

Her practice typically involves 45 minute sessions arranged over a period of weeks or as the client prefers. In addition to person-centred counselling, she is trained in mindfulness and relaxation techniques that can provide practical tools when helpful. Liz is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches to Online Therapy with a Person-Centred Focus

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz integrates client-centred therapy, mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused work into her online practice. Client-centred therapy creates a supportive environment where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions, helping people explore feelings, relationships and identity without being given direct advice. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices and relaxation tools that can reduce stress and help manage anxiety, sleep challenges and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy offers structured support for processing traumatic and abusive experiences, helping clients build coping strategies and regain a sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is discussed collaboratively. Liz listens to the client's needs, goals and preferences and works with them to identify which methods or combination of methods feel most helpful, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which can make therapy more flexible and accessible for people balancing work, family or mobility needs. These options allow clients to connect from their own environment, schedule sessions more easily and continue care when in-person meetings are not practical, while still working with a registered professional who can guide them through the therapeutic process.
