About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people carrying stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and with those facing relationship and intimacy concerns. Liz also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and other life transitions.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client at the heart of each session. That means sessions focus on the individual's experience rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Liz listens without judgement and helps people name what matters to them.
Alongside person-centred work she draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques. These tools are offered as practical exercises when they fit a person's needs. Liz also uses trauma-focused approaches when people bring difficult or traumatic events to discuss.
She has spent time supporting people through bereavement and loss, and has experience with sexual and domestic abuse survivors. Her work includes helping people build coping strategies, strengthen internal resources, and work through complicated feelings that follow loss or upheaval.
Sessions are usually 45 minutes and offered over a number of weeks or as the person prefers. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Liz's practice works in English and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and responding without directing outcomes. Online sessions using this approach keep conversation centred on what the client brings, helping them find their own answers and build inner resources.Mindfulness therapy involves simple awareness and relaxation exercises to help manage anxious thoughts and strong emotions. Delivered remotely, these practices can be taught in-session and practised between meetings as short, practical exercises.
Trauma-focused work attends directly to difficult or distressing events and the feelings that follow. Online sessions can provide a steady, paced way to talk through hard memories while developing coping strategies and stabilisation skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and together they will decide which combination of person-centred, mindfulness or trauma-focused work to use.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can cut out travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it easier to meet when living some distance from services. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit each person's everyday routine.
