Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, parenting strain and life changes. She also helps those managing ADHD, low self-esteem and sleeping difficulties. Liz describes her work as person-centred and grounded in listening rather than giving advice.

She begins by creating a space where clients can speak about what matters to them. Sessions are 45 minutes and usually run over a number of weeks or for a length the client prefers. Liz emphasises that people process experiences differently and aims to help them build stronger internal resources and practical coping skills.

Liz has a background supporting bereavement and people affected by sexual and domestic abuse. That work includes helping clients face complicated feelings around loss and trauma, and finding manageable ways to cope day to day. She also draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these are helpful to a person.

Her practice attends to practical life concerns such as career uncertainty, communication problems, codependency and blended family challenges. Liz also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and ageing issues. The focus is on talking through what is happening and developing realistic steps for moving forward.

Liz is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients at this time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing and supports people to identify what matters to them and to develop their own next steps. This approach can help when someone is unsure what change would feel right in work or life.

Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises and relaxation techniques to reduce stress and manage overwhelming thoughts. These tools can be useful for anxiety, sleep difficulties and for calming the mind when coping with grief or change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences and supports people to process difficult memories and reactions at a pace they can manage. Work of this kind often includes grounding and practical coping strategies alongside talking.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust methods in collaboration with the client. This helps ensure sessions fit the person’s needs rather than following a fixed formula.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way to carry practical, talk-based therapy into everyday life without asking people to change their routine.
