Elizabeth Flynn

Elizabeth Flynn is a BACP counsellor who blends attachment-focused work with cognitive behavioural ideas. She presents a warm, straightforward approach that aims to help people manage stress, anger and relationship strains. Sessions are oriented to practical change and clearer understanding rather than jargon or long theory talks.

She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence present patterns. That helps when people notice repeated conflicts or difficulty trusting others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting in everyday situations.

Her background includes work in NHS mental health settings, including acute wards, CAMHS and forensic units, plus roles in private organisations. Over four years in counselling and psychotherapy roles, she has supported people facing trauma, addiction and complex emotional problems. The BACP credential listed is BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

In practical sessions she aims to equip people with tools they can use between meetings. That may look like simple behavioural experiments, short goal-focused tasks or talking through relationship patterns. The focus is on small, steady steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence.

People often come for help with anxiety, depression, anger, grief and life changes. She also works with issues such as parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and questions about identity and sexual orientation.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behaviour and feelings. In practice this means noticing recurring relationship dynamics and gently testing new ways of relating to others, which can ease anger and trust issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural experiments, and build routines that reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change responses to stress.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared task. The therapist will work with the client to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Sessions often mix short goal-setting, practical exercises and reflection so progress is steady and measurable.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Many people find remote counselling useful because it can fit more easily into work and family time, reduce travel, and allow for brief focused check-ins when life gets busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so that practical tools are still used between meetings.
