About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Davis is a counsellor who helps people facing work and wellbeing challenges as well as day-to-day family stresses. She offers calm, practical support for stress, anxiety, grief and parenting concerns. Elizabeth aims to make the first contact straightforward and will work at a pace that feels right for each person.

She uses a mix of approaches tailored to the individual. That can include talking through current problems, looking at patterns from earlier life, and building small, practical steps to ease difficult feelings. Her way of working focuses on understanding relationships and attachment, and on helping parents and carers strengthen connections with their children.

Elizabeth trained in counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She also holds an MA in Infant Mental Health and has recognised training relating to birth trauma and video interaction guidance. Much of her background is in community and charity settings supporting families and young people.

Her practice draws on 14 years as a counsellor plus over 30 years working with children and families in community roles. She spends part of her time with a parent mental health charity, where she supports parents through perinatal and infant-related difficulties. Clients can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversation.

Elizabeth describes therapy as a shared process. She listens first, helps you set goals, and adjusts techniques to match what you find most helpful. This makes it easier to manage life changes, parenting strains, trauma responses or ongoing anxiety with clearer steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and close connections; it can help with bonding, attachment worries and family relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and space so clients can find their own solutions to difficult situations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and develops practical strategies to change them and reduce anxiety or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss options with each person and agree what feels most useful, drawing on different methods as needed. This is a collaborative process that adapts to the client’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when schedules are tight. It can also help when quieter surroundings or not being on camera make a session easier; the therapist will discuss practical arrangements so sessions fit into everyday routines.
