About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Brereton is a UK-based therapist who offers a warm, non-judgemental approach that places the client at the centre of the work. She is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and an accredited member of the NCPS, and she brings six years of professional experience supporting people through grief, abuse, bullying, anxiety, questions about sexuality, and the challenges associated with neurodiversity such as Asperger syndrome.

Working with people facing addiction, anger, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression, ADHD, and the many ways life changes can unsettle a person, she combines a humanistic, person-centred stance with practical skills from cognitive behavioural therapy when appropriate. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties, family of origin issues, and caregiver stress, among other focus areas listed in her practice.

Now in her sixties, Elizabeth draws on life experience and professional training to offer steady, straightforward support. She accepts clients as they are and seeks to empower them to change or to find acceptance, depending on their goals. Her style emphasises respect, openness, and collaboration, with the aim of working together to find a clear way forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client is treated as the expert on their own life. This approach helps people explore identity, relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact; it is often used to address anxiety, low mood, and coping strategies by developing practical skills and new ways of thinking. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the impact of traumatic experiences and uses targeted techniques to support recovery and reduce the ongoing effects of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of person-centred listening and more structured techniques as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, to access support from different locations, and to choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful for the client.
