Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz , BACP

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz is a qualified, person-centered therapeutic counsellor who uses an eclectic blend of methods to meet each person where they are. With four years of clinical experience, she works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and a range of life transitions. She emphasises that every individual processes experience differently and adapts her approach to reflect each client’s unique needs.

Liz has extensive work supporting bereavement and understands how loss can be complex, layered, and intertwined with other emotional difficulties. She also holds specific training in supporting survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, helping clients come to terms with difficult events and develop healthy coping strategies. Across her practice she supports people with addiction, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting and career stresses, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and many other challenges listed in her specialties.

Grounded in person-centered values, Liz focuses on offering empathy, a non-judgemental presence, and a supportive space in which clients can explore feelings and build inner resources. She also integrates mindfulness and relaxation techniques when they are helpful. Sessions are offered in 45-minute appointments over a period determined by the client and counsellor, and Liz is a registered member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Approaches for online therapy and practical flexibility

Elizabeth "Liz" Pentz draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful and non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the work - this approach helps people who want to explore their feelings, build self-worth, and find personal solutions. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach simple attention and relaxation strategies that support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and offer tools for coping with anxiety or sleep difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy is applied when past traumatic experiences are impacting daily life; it focuses on understanding trauma responses and developing safer ways to manage distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Liz works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so it remains aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility constraints. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from familiar surroundings and to continue care in a way that suits their schedule and communication style.
