About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Hughes is a counsellor who uses clear, practical methods to help people who are struggling. She draws on client-centred care alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support change. Elizabeth works with sleep and rest concerns alongside anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and practices from the United Kingdom.
Elizabeth keeps sessions down-to-earth and focused on what matters now. She aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what’s worrying them. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent and then move to small, manageable steps forward.
Over nine years of work have shaped her approach to trauma, addictions and domestic violence and the effects they have on motivation and self-esteem. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and try out different responses. Practical tools mix with space to reflect and make sense of difficult feelings.
She also supports people coping with parenting pressures, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image issues and career changes. Many clients find it useful to work on rebuilding confidence and setting boundaries. Elizabeth aims to help people increase resilience and handle life’s ups and downs with more choice.
To begin, she invites clients to describe what they want to change and what matters most to them. That information guides a shared plan, reviewed as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elizabeth often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify what matters most and take small steps towards those values, even when sleep or anxiety make action hard. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts without being ruled by them and trying experiments in everyday life.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems such as insomnia, low mood or anxiety going. CBT offers practical exercises and structured ways to test new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. The plan can change as you learn what helps and what does not, with choices guided by what matters to you.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as this profile does not list them. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to keep continuity when circumstances change. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions.
