Elizabeth (Liz) Cook

Elizabeth (Liz) Cook is a counsellor who helps people facing anger, stress and other difficult emotions. She greets new clients with patience and aims to make the first steps feel straightforward. Liz explains what to expect and listens to what matters most to each person.

She qualified as a counsellor in the UK and has twelve years of professional experience, built on earlier work in social care. That background includes supporting people with disabilities and the family members who care for them. Those years shaped her understanding of how illness, long-term conditions and caring roles affect everyday life.

Liz uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often working alongside person-centred ways of meeting people. She gives time at the first meeting to hear someone’s story and their goals, then discusses practical ways to move forward. Sessions focus on clear steps and on understanding the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.

Common concerns she helps people with include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and anger. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, life changes and questions about purpose.

Her manner is calm and down-to-earth. She aims to work with each person’s strengths while offering steady support through hard moments. If someone wants to try talking things through and learning new strategies, Liz can explain the options and plan next steps together.

How CBT and person-centred work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going; CBT often includes short exercises and practical strategies for managing anxiety, anger or low mood. She also draws on a person-centred approach that focuses on listening and helping people find their own strengths and solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss your goals and preferences and work with you to select techniques that feel helpful. That collaboration means adapting exercises and the pace to suit what you need in the moment.

The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit around busy lives and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions easier to schedule around work, caregiving or health needs. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals can offer a flexible mix of approaches and will explain which formats best support the plan you build together.
