Elizabeth Flynn, BACP

Elizabeth Flynn offers an integrative approach that blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive work and solution-focused techniques. She frames sessions around what a person wants to change and helps them find practical ways forward. Elizabeth uses straightforward language and short, focused sessions to make therapy feel manageable.

She has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide ethical practice. Her background includes work in private organisations and NHS mental health settings, where she supported people in acute care, CAMHS and forensic wards. That experience informs how she supports people through distressing or complex problems.

Elizabeth helps people address a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also works with parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem problems, and life transitions such as divorce or career change.

Her approach is practical. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small changes between meetings, and reviewing what helped. She draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive strategies to shift thoughts and behaviour.

Clients describe goals in everyday terms and work step by step towards them. Elizabeth aims to equip people with tools they can use after therapy ends. She encourages honesty, curiosity and steady progress in sessions.

How attachment and cognitive approaches work online

Elizabeth often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current worries and connections. This approach helps people understand why they respond a certain way in relationships and supports calmer, more secure interactions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep or eating difficulties because it gives clear, practical steps to try between sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try ways of working together that make sense for the person. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed so the plan stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and fit therapy into a busy life.
