About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred perspective that puts the client at the heart of sessions. She combines a warm, non-judgemental presence with practical tools when these are useful. Sessions are forty-five minutes and designed to help people feel heard and gradually build more healthy ways of coping.
Liz has four years of experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and stress. She also helps those dealing with grief, trauma and low self-esteem. Her work includes helping people facing intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.
Her practice pays particular attention to loss in its many forms and the complex emotions that can follow. She has experience supporting people through bereavement and through recovery from domestic and sexual abuse. Liz aims to help clients come to terms with difficult events and find steadying day-to-day strategies.
Person-centred counselling guides how she works. That means Liz listens first and follows each person’s pace. She does not give solutions; instead she helps people access their own resources and make choices that fit their life.
In addition to person-centred work, Liz uses mindfulness and relaxation exercises when clients might benefit. These techniques are offered as practical skills to reduce stress, manage anxious moments and improve sleep.
She is a BACP member, practising in the United Kingdom and holding sessions in English. People choose to work with her for short series of sessions or over a longer period according to their needs.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and support so the client can explore feelings and decide what helps. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where people need time to make sense of experiences.Mindfulness therapy teaches practical exercises to calm the body and mind. Simple breathing and relaxation techniques can reduce stress, help with sleep and lower moments of panic. Trauma-focused work looks at ways to process distressing memories safely while building coping skills for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to schedule counselling around work, caregiving and everyday life.
