Elizabeth Hughes , BACP

Elizabeth Hughes is a UK-based psychotherapist who specialises in online therapy and holds the BACP credential, a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With nine years of professional experience, she supports people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, domestic violence, trauma and abuse.

Her approach centres on building a calm, compassionate and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. Elizabeth aims to create a space where empathy and care are at the forefront, enabling people to explore the issues that have brought them to therapy with honesty and courage. She places importance on trust and steady support as foundations for change.

Through collaboration, she helps clients gain new insights into how they think and feel, and to recognise patterns and beliefs that may no longer serve them. This reflective work is designed to increase self-awareness and rebuild confidence, so people can regain a sense of control and resilience when facing life’s challenges.

Elizabeth welcomes those who feel ready to take the next step and offers online sessions tailored to individual needs, helping people move toward recovery and renewed coping skills.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Elizabeth draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports taking action that aligns with personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy, unconditional positive regard and genuine listening, creating a steady, accepting space for exploring relationship and emotional concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms related to mood, anxiety and stress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her style as therapy progresses and as priorities change.

Online therapy with Elizabeth offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access licensed professionals and therapists who can support ongoing progress.
