Elizabeth Duffy

Elizabeth Duffy is a counsellor who aims to help people struggling with anger, stress and anxiety find clearer ways forward. She creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without fear of judgement. The first conversation is simple and gentle, focused on what matters most to the person sitting across from her.

With 17 years of experience, Elizabeth draws on several practical approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She listens first, then works collaboratively to set realistic goals and small steps. Sessions often focus on understanding triggers, learning coping strategies, and practising different responses to strong emotions.

Elizabeth uses client-centred techniques to keep the session grounded in the client’s priorities. She also applies cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new ways of acting. Mindfulness tools are introduced when helpful to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including addiction, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, sleep problems and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and sexuality. Her approach is straightforward and paced to each person’s readiness.

Sessions are conducted in English and Elizabeth works with international clients. She encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step to find a time that fits their life. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How Elizabeth adapts therapy methods for online work

Elizabeth uses client-centred therapy to focus on what the person finds most important; sessions begin with listening and building trust so the client sets the pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be practised between meetings to reduce anger and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will discuss goals and try different methods to see what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist review progress and adjust plans rather than sticking to a fixed programme.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins around work. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online work to help maintain continuity of care and to make therapy more accessible for people with diverse needs.
