Elize Jonathan, BACP

Elize Jonathan is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those coping with addictions and bereavement. Elize believes people bring strengths to therapy and treats each person as the expert in their own story.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations often start with what is most pressing - sleep, mood, or a recent conflict. She helps clients notice patterns, try small changes and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Work may include short exercises between sessions and simple ways to manage difficult moments.

Elize also supports people facing anger, relationship strain, and family conflict. She offers help for issues such as low self-esteem, career stress, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. For those living with bipolar symptoms, ADHD or eating and sleeping difficulties she aims to make everyday coping more manageable.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She talks through options with clients and adjusts the pace to suit how they prefer to work. The aim is to create clear steps forward rather than long lists of theory.

Elize offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Clients use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and schedule sessions based on her availability.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Elize uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One common approach helps people break large problems into small, manageable steps and teaches simple skills to manage anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on building routines and behavioural changes to improve sleep, appetite and daily functioning; it works well for grief, depression and addiction-related patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on what helps most. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to use and how quickly to make changes.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access. Video calls let people use visual cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing brief support between sessions, or find messaging easier to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to try therapies without travelling.
