Elizabeth Davis, BACP

Elizabeth Davis is a counsellor with 14 years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and life changes. She works with adults, children and teenagers and aims to make first steps feel less daunting. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, and she adapts the pace to what each person needs.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of her, drawing on Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural methods and solution-focused ways of working. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies as well as exploring patterns that affect thoughts and everyday habits. That combination can help when problems stem from past relationships, current family life or stressful life transitions.

Elizabeth has a background working in community and voluntary services with children and families for over 30 years, and 13 years in counselling roles within charities. She currently works as a counsellor in a parent mental health charity and has specific interests in antenatal and postnatal issues, birth trauma, bonding and infant mental health.

Her qualifications include membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she also holds postgraduate study in infant mental health alongside trauma-informed work with children and young people. Elizabeth aims to build trust through respect and compassion so that people can tackle practical problems and long-standing patterns alike.

If you are weighing up whether to seek support, she will help you set the pace and priorities for therapy and work with you to make progress that fits your life.

How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and behaviour. It can help people who struggle with bonding, abandonment worries or repeated relationship patterns by exploring those ties and how they shape responses now.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement. It gives space to talk through feelings, parenting worries or grief while the counsellor reflects and follows the client’s pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and introduces simple practical techniques to change how people think and act in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss which methods suit your goals and preferences and will adjust the mix as you progress. That means sessions aim to feel collaborative and tailored rather than fixed from the start.

The original biography does not specify online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around family life and appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people share practical exercises and worksheets during a session to work on thoughts and everyday habits between meetings.
