About Lizzie
Lizzie Hayes is a counsellor with 15 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is listed with the NCPS and supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. She aims to make the first step less daunting by offering calm, straightforward care.
She helps people talk through difficult feelings in a non-judgemental setting. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on practical ways to cope day to day. Conversations are paced to suit each person so they can feel heard and make gradual change.
Lizzie has worked across a range of situations where trauma, loss and panic can affect daily life. That background informs how she responds when someone arrives overwhelmed, stuck or drained. She pays attention to how strong emotions show up in thoughts and behaviour, and works with clients to find calmer patterns.
Main areas that often come up are problems with attachment, shame and guilt, anger, body image and isolation. She also supports people dealing with life purpose questions, midlife transitions and specific men’s wellbeing concerns. Clients may bring issues around panic attacks, social anxiety or post-traumatic stress.
Her practical focus includes improving communication, managing control issues, and building self-compassion. People are invited to set realistic goals and try small steps between sessions. The aim is steady progress and clearer choices about the next chapter.
How evidence-based techniques can help online
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding and changing patterns that keep problems going. For example, trauma-informed approaches help people make sense of distressing events and reduce their ongoing impact by working at a manageable pace and building coping skills. Another common approach addresses anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and regain confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to a person’s goals and agree a plan that fits their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include greater flexibility to fit sessions around work or family commitments and easier access for people who live far from specialist services. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person, or sessions without video if bandwidth is limited. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match your needs.
