Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz, BACP

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her practice. She works to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through anxiety, depression, relationship worries and intimacy-related issues. Liz holds BACP registration, and she offers 45-minute sessions that can run over weeks or adapt to a client’s needs.

Her work often focuses on building self-esteem and a stronger inner foundation for living well. She has experience supporting people through grief and bereavement, and she helps those coping with loss that appears alongside other difficulties. Liz also supports people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, focusing on practical coping and emotional recovery.

Mindfulness and simple relaxation techniques are available as tools within sessions when they fit a person’s goals. Liz prefers to follow the person-centred stance of listening without giving direct advice, while offering these techniques when they might help. This lets people try short practices alongside talking work.

She recognises that experiences of trauma, addiction, chronic illness and caregiving stress can be complex and layered. Sessions aim to help people untangle these issues at their own pace and find strategies that feel helpful in daily life. The goal is to support people to notice changes and build steady coping skills.

Liz has four years of clinical experience in the UK and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are shaped around each person’s needs.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person to explore feelings and thoughts in their own way. It aims to build trust, self-understanding and stronger inner resources through empathic, non-judgemental conversation.

Mindfulness therapy brings short, practical exercises that help ground attention and reduce reactivity. These techniques can be useful for stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and managing overwhelming emotions alongside talking work.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide whether to emphasise person-centred dialogue, introduce mindfulness practices, or bring in trauma-focused ideas depending on needs and goals.

The practical benefits of online work can include easier scheduling, fitting sessions around work or caregiving, and using shorter check-ins when life is busy. The therapist's profile lists 45-minute sessions; however, the biography does not specify which delivery formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while fitting around everyday commitments.
