About Elizabeth

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that puts the client's experience first. She uses empathy and a non-judgemental presence to help people talk through current struggles and build inner resources. Liz offers 45 minute sessions and aims to walk alongside clients as they make changes at their own pace.

Liz has four years of clinical experience and is a Registered Member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has supported people living with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, and has worked a great deal with grief and bereavement.

Her practice also includes work with trauma, sexual and domestic abuse, and relationship difficulties. Liz uses trauma-focused methods where appropriate and brings mindfulness and relaxation techniques into sessions when these tools are helpful to the person she is seeing.

She understands that loss can be complex and may come with mixed or conflicting emotions. Sessions aim to help people make sense of difficult events and develop practical coping strategies that fit their life.

Liz also offers support around stress, parenting concerns, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. People are invited to set the pace and focus of their work, with the counsellor responding to what they most need in the moment.

Person-centred and trauma-aware approaches for online support

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz uses person-centred practice to place the individual's perspective at the heart of therapy, creating space for people to name what matters and decide the pace of change. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a practical way to learn breathing and relaxation techniques that can reduce stress and ease anxious moments. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past events remain painful, aiming to help people process difficult memories and build workable coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they shape a plan that draws on person-centred listening, mindfulness tools or trauma-informed work as needed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing easier scheduling around work or family commitments. They can also make it simpler to check in briefly between appointments or to use relaxation practices at a convenient time.
