Elize Jonathan

Elize Jonathan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and also supports those facing addictions and anger. Elize believes people know their story best and brings a respectful, practical stance to sessions. She encourages the first step towards help and acknowledges how brave that can feel.

In sessions Elize focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. She listens to what matters most and helps clients break problems into smaller parts to work through. Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues like trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and relationship strain. This includes practical coping strategies for sleep, eating, and everyday stress.

Elize also supports people working through career stress, compassion fatigue and the challenges of parenting. She offers space to talk about identity and LGBT-related concerns, and helps people cope with life changes including bipolar management and ADHD-related difficulties. The work often includes goal-setting, skills practice and reflections on patterns that keep stress and anger active.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions tend to be straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Elize aims to help clients build skills they can use outside therapy, and to make progress that fits their daily life.

If you decide to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Elize uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses involves helping people learn coping skills and behavioural strategies to reduce anxiety and manage anger. This typically includes step-by-step exercises and practice between sessions to build new habits.

She also draws on methods that explore patterns in thinking and behaviour to reduce depression and improve daily functioning. These methods help people spot unhelpful cycles and try small experiments to change them, which can suit issues like low mood, OCD tendencies and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. This collaborative exploration means plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and removing travel time. Online options can also make it easier to schedule short check-ins around work or to choose an appointment that suits a carer or parent. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be arranged.
