About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz offers a person-centred counselling approach that focuses on understanding each person’s experience. She works to create a listening space where people feel heard and respected. Sessions are 45 minutes long and run over a period of weeks or as the person prefers.
Liz draws on client-centred methods to help people explore thoughts and everyday habits that affect how they feel. She uses plain conversation, reflective listening, and empathy rather than giving direct advice. Mindfulness and relaxation tools are sometimes introduced to help with stress, sleep and managing overwhelming feelings.
She has four years of experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, grief and trauma. That background includes work with those facing sexual and domestic abuse, and with people needing bereavement support. She pays attention to how loss and change can appear across many struggles, including low self-esteem and compassion fatigue.
Her practice also covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, addictions, chronic illness and career-related stress. Liz mentions additional focus areas like ADHD, attachment and body image when these relate to a person’s story.
In sessions she aims to help people build stronger internal resources and healthier coping habits. The tone is non-judgemental and collaborative, with the person setting the pace. Liz is a Registered Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).

Person-centred and mindfulness approaches for online sessions
Elizabeth uses a person-centred approach that focuses on listening, reflection and helping people explore their own thoughts and everyday habits. This approach aims to strengthen internal resources and let people find what works for them rather than offering direct solutions.She also uses mindfulness and relaxation techniques as practical, short exercises to reduce stress, improve sleep and calm racing thoughts. Trauma-focused ideas are used when needed to acknowledge difficult memories and help people develop safer coping strategies for events that continue to affect them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited over time so the work stays relevant and manageable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a quieter setting or avoid camera use if that feels better for them. Registered or accredited professionals on the site can discuss practical arrangements and help match the approach to everyday life.
