About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach, focusing on empathy and respect for each person’s unique experience. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to help people build inner resources to manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
Liz uses mostly 45 minute sessions and meets people over a period of weeks or in whatever pattern they prefer. She draws on mindfulness and relaxation techniques when these are helpful. Her practice is informed by four years of experience and by her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She has substantial experience supporting people through bereavement and end-of-life issues and understands how loss can be complex and layered. Liz also works with people affected by trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, addictions and depression. She pays attention to how these problems often overlap and influence day-to-day coping.
Her style is gentle and non-judgemental. She aims to give space for clients to talk through painful feelings and to develop practical coping strategies. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than on giving direct advice.
Clients can expect a collaborative relationship where the counsellor listens, reflects and offers simple tools such as grounding and breathing exercises when useful. Liz encourages each person to find approaches that feel right for them and to build a steadier foundation for living well.

How these approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting people to find their own answers. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings without pressure to change immediately. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices such as breathing and grounding. These tools can reduce stress, aid sleep and help with symptoms of anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people process difficult memories and manage strong emotions in safer ways.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and any concerns and then agree a plan together. That collaborative step means the approach can be adapted as needs change over time.
The profile describes 45 minute sessions, but it does not list other specific formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments, remove travel time, and allow short check-ins when life gets busy. It can also offer choice about whether to use video or another method depending on what feels most comfortable and practical for the person.
