Elizabeth Duffy

Elizabeth Duffy is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and the fallout from trauma. She welcomes conversations about addiction, anger and low mood. She aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Her approach is warm and practical, suited to someone wanting straightforward support.

With 17 years of experience overall and an NCPS credential, she combines several therapeutic styles to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centred work to keep the person's perspective central. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes.

Elizabeth also uses emotionally focused ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness practices are introduced where helpful to reduce reactivity and improve focus. She may use motivational interviewing to support changes around addictive behaviours or difficult habits.

Her background includes work across concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD and intellectual disability among others. She frames goals in everyday terms so progress is visible and measurable. Sessions aim to tackle immediate problems while building practical skills for longer term coping.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, collaborative counsellor who listens and suggests doable steps. The first meetings focus on what matters most now and on planning how therapy can fit into daily life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding the client’s priorities and adjusting the pace to their needs.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. In remote work this can include setting practical between-session tasks and reviewing what worked in the next meeting.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise patterns in relationships and the feelings that drive them. Online conversations can map those patterns and plan different responses to reduce distress in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels comfortable. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and change course if something is not working.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work easier for fitting appointments around daily life, keeping sessions shorter when needed, or avoiding travel. The focus remains on practical steps, measurable goals and regular review so therapy fits into everyday routines.
