Elizabeth Cockram, BACP

Elizabeth Cockram is a counsellor with 15 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with relationships, stress, anxiety, mood changes, and intimate issues. Libby uses straightforward, calm conversation to help clients understand what is happening and find workable steps forward.

Her background includes time with Social Services and work within the NHS, where she used a range of talking therapies including cognitive behavioural approaches and humanistic methods. She also runs a private practice and has experience supporting both individuals and couples through relationship difficulties and life transitions.

In sessions she keeps the person at the centre of the work and chooses tools to suit each situation. That might mean looking at patterns in relationships, learning skills to manage anxiety, or practising mindfulness for stress. She aims for practical suggestions that can be used between meetings.

Elizabeth has supported people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, sexual and intimacy-related issues, body image, parenting stresses, and chronic illness. She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar and mood difficulties, and challenges around attachment and abandonment.

Her style is collaborative and paced to each client. People who want clear conversation, practical strategies and sensitive support for relationship or intimacy issues may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour, and can help with trust, intimacy and recurring relationship conflicts. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the client’s experience and aims to build a supportive space where people can speak freely and make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person. Together the therapist and client review progress and adjust the plan if something is not helpful. This keeps the process collaborative and responsive to real needs.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find remote work easier to fit around daily life, such as arranging shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing conversations without video when that feels better. Talk with the therapist about what will suit your routine and communication style so sessions can slot into everyday life.
