About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Mckenzie offers a warm, down-to-earth approach to therapy. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical ways to ease stress and anxiety. Her work often centres on relationships, self-esteem and feelings of low mood.
Elizabeth holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. In sessions she aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. She tailors each meeting to what the person bringing the problem needs most.
Background and approach
That could mean looking at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood, or paying attention to emotional patterns that show up in relationships. Elizabeth draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change distressing emotional cycles. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current reactions.
Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy are used when people want tools for managing worry or unhelpful thinking. She works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, eating and body image issues, parenting strain, anger, and life transitions. Other areas she supports include ADHD-related struggles, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Elizabeth aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate while helping people build new ways of coping. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that process.

Online support
Emotion and attachment work through online sessions
Elizabeth uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and shift painful emotional patterns, especially those that show up in close connections. This approach helps people name feelings, express needs and change repeating cycles of hurt or distance.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to trace how early bonds influence current reactions and relationship styles. That work can be useful for people who want to understand why they react strongly in certain situations. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her manner in the room, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit your goals and preferences, adapting as needs change. Sessions are collaborative and open to review so the approach can evolve over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video suits in-depth conversations, phone can be easier with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging works for shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
