Lizzie Hayes, NCPS

Lizzie Hayes uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. She makes therapy straightforward and practical. Her style aims to help people feel heard and to find steps they can try between sessions.

With 15 years of professional experience, Lizzie has supported people through panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and difficult life changes such as midlife crisis and loss. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, body image and social anxiety. Sessions focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her.

Her work includes addressing communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Lizzie pays attention to patterns that recur in relationships and daily life, and she helps people notice small changes that make a difference over time. She also supports men facing specific pressures and concerns.

Clients can expect a non-judgemental space where they can talk through painful memories and current challenges. Conversations aim to clarify what matters, reduce overwhelming feelings, and develop coping strategies that fit everyday routines.

Lizzie is registered as NCPS, which is shown after her name. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Practical approaches and remote therapy that fit your life

Lizzie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild steadiness. One common method focuses on recognising and changing unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression. This involves practical exercises and small experiments between sessions to test new ways of coping. Another approach works with the impact of trauma and strong emotions by helping people process painful memories and learn grounding skills to manage intense reactions. That work aims to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and agree on a way forward together. Plans can be adjusted as needed so the method matches your goals, pace and preferences.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexible access. Video suits longer conversations and face-to-face connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between meetings, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
