   About Elizabeth

   Elizabeth Parry is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, communication and control issues, caregiver stress, and the emotional effects of separation and family problems.

   She works in a client-centred way. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations aim to build motivation, spot patterns that cause pain, and try small changes that add up over time.

   Elizabeth draws on approaches such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices. She adapts these tools to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. That means practical strategies and simple exercises that can be used between sessions.

   She has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Elizabeth offers sessions in English and can work with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

   Her style is empathetic and direct. Sessions are intended to feel like a partnership where the person sets goals and Elizabeth helps unpack obstacles. People who want to improve confidence, manage painful memories, or find a way forward after loss may find this approach useful.

2. How motivation and attachment work in online counselling

   Motivational Interviewing is a way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses curious, non-judgemental questions to build motivation and small, manageable steps towards goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions, helping people notice patterns in close relationships and learn different ways of relating.
   
   Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That shared planning helps make sessions feel relevant and achievable.
   
   Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone choose audio-only when video is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use a range of approaches to suit different issues, and online sessions can support continuing progress between in-person meetings when needed.
