About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Davis is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 14 years of counselling experience alongside over 30 years working with children and families in community and voluntary roles. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and coping with life changes, and has a particular interest in antenatal and postnatal concerns and infant mental health.

Elizabeth uses straightforward conversation and practical thinking to help people manage difficult feelings. She draws on approaches that look at relationships, thoughts and past experience to make sense of current problems. Sessions move at a pace the client feels comfortable with, focusing on what can be changed now as well as understanding deeper patterns.

Her background includes work in charities and a parent mental health organisation, and training around birth trauma and video interactive guidance for early relationships. That experience informs how she supports parents, those expecting a baby, and people dealing with early-care experiences.

When someone brings blended family issues, loyalty conflicts, or new stepparent roles, Elizabeth helps sort practical routines and communication. She also addresses attachment concerns, grief, and stress that can come with merging households.

People can expect clear, respectful discussion about goals and next steps. Elizabeth asks about what matters most, suggests small experiments between sessions, and reviews what works. The focus is on usable options for daily life rather than long lists of theory.

How her approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural approaches when working with parents and adults. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps with bonding, loyalty conflicts and parent-child interactions. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours, offering clear steps to reduce anxiety and manage stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and try methods together to see what fits. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to focus on exploring past experiences, changing unhelpful thinking, or brief practical experiments to improve daily routines.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family life, for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break or telephone conversations when video is difficult. It also lets people join from different locations without needing travel, which can help maintain continuity during life changes.
