Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz, BACP

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz offers a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. She uses listening and empathy to help people feel heard and to build their own coping resources. Liz holds BACP registration and works from the United Kingdom.

Her practice focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas and she can work with loss and life changes that often come with later life.

Liz follows a client-centred way of working that does not give fixed solutions. Instead she creates space for each person to explore feelings and make their own decisions. She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these practical tools can help reduce distress in the moment.

She has four years of experience and has spent considerable time supporting bereavement and people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. Sessions are typically 45 minutes long and can continue weekly for a number of weeks or be adapted to what the person prefers.

Her aim is to support, listen and accompany people as they work through difficult experiences. She encourages development of internal strengths so people can manage their lives more comfortably and with more choice.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-centred therapy is about being heard and respected. The counsellor reflects what you say and helps you explore your own responses, which can help with depression, anxiety and building self-worth.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and relaxation practices. These tools can reduce stress, improve sleep and help with coping during difficult moments.

Trauma-focused work looks at how past distress affects daily life and supports safer ways to process painful memories and reactions. This can be useful for people dealing with abuse, bereavement or other losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process guides which tools or techniques are used in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel and have quicker check-ins when needed. It also allows use of mindfulness exercises and breathing practices during sessions to build skills that can be used between meetings.
