Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton, BACP

Elizabeth "Lizz" Benton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and four years of professional experience. She offers straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, stress and anxiety. Lizz aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters to the person and on small, achievable steps towards change. Conversations include practical tools as well as exploring emotional patterns that hold someone back.

Lizz draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding. Mindfulness techniques are included to reduce stress and improve focus.

Her experience includes helping people navigate midlife questions, career changes and family tensions. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, grief, and feelings of emptiness. The emphasis is on collaborative planning and realistic goals that fit day-to-day life.

People who work with Lizz can expect clear conversation, practical strategies and steady support. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps map out first steps and priorities. For international clients, sessions are offered in English and arrangements can be discussed before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It often involves clarifying values and practising actions that match those values, which can support decisions during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments or behaviour change. It is useful for reducing anxiety, improving sleep and tackling unhelpful reactions to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean blending ACT, CBT, attachment-informed ideas or mindfulness exercises depending on what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people living outside the local area can arrange sessions in English and work with a registered professional in the United Kingdom. The therapist will discuss what will fit into a client’s routine and help plan practical steps for progress.
