Elizabeth Cockram, BACP

Elizabeth Cockram is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience. She welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship troubles or big life changes. Her tone is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and clear.

Elizabeth commonly helps with relationship and intimacy issues, family conflict, coping after loss, and struggles with mood such as depression or bipolar. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD and the practical strain of illness or caregiving. Midlife transitions and questions about purpose and change are among the issues she sees.

Her way of working keeps the person at the centre. She draws on client-centred listening alongside attachment-focused ideas to understand how past relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and the Gottman Method are additional approaches she uses to build clearer thinking, calmer responses and better communication.

Elizabeth has worked in Social Services, the NHS and in private practice, so she is used to different settings and ages. She describes therapy as a shared process where the counsellor walks alongside the client while they find steps that help in daily life.

Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable goals such as changing unhelpful thinking, improving communication, restoring sleep routines or planning coping strategies. People are invited to move at their own pace and to use therapy in a way that fits their life.

How these approaches support online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and connection. It can help people who repeat familiar relationship cycles or who want more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and creating a respectful space so people can make sense of their own experience; it suits those wanting a steady, non-directive process. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and clear steps, which can be useful for anxiety, mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around busy days, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity through life changes and to work on practical skills such as communication exercises, behaviour experiments and mindfulness practices without rearranging the whole day.
