About Lizzie

Lizzie Hayes is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief and anger. Her practice also addresses life purpose questions and related concerns such as attachment, body image and communication problems.

Lizzie focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She helps people talk through difficult feelings and painful events. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and to build clearer ways of managing intense emotions and panic when they arise.

Her background includes long-term work with people affected by loss and post-traumatic stress. That experience informs how she approaches grief and trauma, and how she supports people dealing with guilt, shame or abandonment fears. She also works with issues that come up in midlife and men's issues as described in her profile.

In sessions she encourages clients to name patterns that cause distress and to practise new ways of responding. That can include focused work on communication, setting boundaries, and addressing control issues. She also offers support for people questioning what matters next in their life purpose.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The arrangement of sessions and any subscription cost varies with location, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches for change and clarity online

Lizzie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical work on current problems. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; these methods are commonly used for anxiety, panic and social phobia. Trauma-informed approaches attend to how past events shape present reactions and support paced processing of difficult memories and symptoms such as post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques to issues like grief, attachment worries or questions about life purpose.

The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online formats are offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-in appointments, and reduce travel time. They also let people join from different locations when international work is accepted. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt exercises and pacing to suit each person's situation.
