About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and listens closely to help people find their own way through difficult feelings. Sessions are 45 minutes long and run over weeks or as the client prefers.

Liz draws on client-centred practice alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. That mix means she will prioritise what matters to the person in front of her and use practical mindfulness or relaxation tools when helpful. She is comfortable supporting people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction-related problems, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

She has worked extensively with bereavement and loss, and supports people who are processing trauma or abuse. Liz aims to help people build stronger internal resources so they can manage day-to-day life more easily and make choices that feel right for them. Her experience includes supporting those affected by long-term illness, caregiving stress, and overlapping mental health concerns.

Elizabeth Pentz is a BACP member, which is recorded as BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and holds four years of professional experience in counselling work. Sessions are carried out in English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How these therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

The person-centred approach focuses on listening and supporting the person in front of the counsellor. Online work using this approach means the counsellor will prioritise your concerns, reflect what you say, and encourage you to find solutions that feel right for you.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple, practical exercises to calm the body and focus attention. These can help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems and building steady routines, and are easy to practise between sessions. Trauma-focused work involves carefully exploring and processing difficult experiences at a pace you can manage, with attention to safety and coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on your needs, goals and preferences, and may introduce different tools over time to support progress.

The original biography does not list which online or remote formats are offered. Please confirm available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, helping sessions work around work, caring duties or other daily demands.
