About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz works from a person-centred approach that aims to make clients feel listened to and respected. She uses empathy and a non-judgemental presence to help people talk through what they are facing. Sessions are 45 minutes long and run over weeks or at whatever pace a person prefers.
Liz draws on client-centred principles to help people build their own coping strategies. She does not give advice as a rule, but offers space for clients to explore feelings and find what works for them. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are used when helpful, as practical tools to reduce stress and manage anxiety.
She has four years of experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse and relationship concerns. Liz has also worked extensively with low self-esteem and bereavement, recognising that grief can be complex and include conflicting emotions. Her background includes supporting people affected by sexual and domestic abuse, and helping them develop safer coping strategies.
Her wider areas of focus include challenges tied to health, chronic illness and caregiving, as well as issues such as addiction, sleep difficulties and compassion fatigue. Liz also offers help with career pressures, parenting strains and intimacy-related concerns. She aims to help people strengthen an internal foundation for living more comfortably day-to-day.
Liz is a BACP member, which is the credential she lists. Sessions are offered in English and she works from the United Kingdom. To begin, people follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to book time with her.

How person-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and treating each person as the expert on their own life; online work with this approach aims to recreate that supportive conversational space so clients can reflect and make choices that suit them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxiety; these skills are often practised together with talking and can help with sleep and rumination.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences, and agree together which methods to try and for how long. That shared planning means techniques can be adjusted as progress or circumstances change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and reduced travel time. Online work can also make it simpler to have shorter check-ins when needed or to use audio-only options if that suits a person better; please confirm the session options available before booking. Many people find it helps them keep continuity of care while managing everyday life demands.
