About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Duffy works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She helps clients who are struggling with addictions, trauma, anger or relationship strain. Her approach is warm and person-centred, aiming to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and decisions.
She draws on 17 years of experience in the United Kingdom and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, alongside exploring emotions and patterns that keep problems going. That might mean learning new coping skills, practising mindfulness, or looking at how relationships affect mood.
Elizabeth places emphasis on building a trusting working relationship first. She listens without judgement and works at a pace the client sets. Together they set realistic goals and check progress as therapy continues.
People come to her for help with areas such as self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue, as well as more complex concerns like bipolar, personality difficulties and obsessive behaviours. She also supports those affected by first responder stresses, HIV/AIDS related issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Her style blends client-centred listening with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques. Motivational conversations can help when change feels hard. Mindfulness practices are offered when calming the body and mind is needed.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elizabeth commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused methods. Client-centred work means the counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s priorities, helping them feel understood and heard. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours, teaching practical ways to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. Emotionally-focused methods help people identify and process strong feelings and painful relationship patterns to improve emotional connection and self-understanding.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to achieve and try different methods to see what fits. Goals and the plan are reviewed together so the work can be adjusted if needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helps them read facial cues, while others prefer audio if they need less bandwidth or a lower-key session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to work well in a remote setting.
