Lizzie London, BACP

Lizzie London is a counsellor who focuses on midlife issues alongside stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Her tone is supportive and practical for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She sees the person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to centre on what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and small changes that make daily life easier. The work is collaborative - the client and counsellor decide together what to try next.

Lizzie trained to the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has seven years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. That background includes helping people navigate loss, relationship conflict, and the effects of past abuse.

In practical terms she aims for clear, manageable steps. Conversations are grounded and direct, with space to reflect on feelings and practical ways to change stuck patterns. People often leave with a plan they can use between sessions.

If someone is thinking about starting, Lizzie encourages a short initial process to see if the working style fits. She supports clients to set realistic goals and checks in about progress as the work continues.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding unhelpful patterns and building practical new habits. One common approach aims to identify thought and behaviour patterns that keep stress and anxiety active, then test alternative ways of responding to reduce their impact. This approach is helpful for ongoing worry, low mood and daily stressors.

Another helpful method focuses on processing past hurt and trauma by creating a clearer story of what happened and learning ways to manage strong reactions. This kind of work can reduce intrusive memories and improve emotional regulation after difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping appointments when travel or time is a barrier. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and to try straightforward exercises at home. Confirm the session options available before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
