Elizabeth DavisBACP

Elizabeth Davis is a BACP counsellor who focuses on pregnancy, birth and early parenthood concerns. She works with adults, children and teenagers who are finding stress, anxiety or life changes hard to manage. Elizabeth writes plainly and listens closely, helping people set the pace and decide what to work on together.

She brings more than a decade of counselling experience alongside long service in community roles supporting families. Her background includes work with parent mental health charities and extended practice supporting infant mental health and bonding after birth. This experience shapes how she responds to antenatal and postnatal worries and birth trauma concerns.

In sessions she aims for a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. Elizabeth adapts her approach to each person’s needs, drawing on practical steps and reflective conversation. She emphasises mutual respect and compassion as the foundation for change.

Therapy can cover practical coping strategies for day-to-day stress, ways to manage anxiety, support after loss, and work on parenting challenges. She also addresses attachment and relationship patterns that affect family life. The focus is on achievable steps and clearer ways of relating to others.

People who choose Elizabeth can expect straightforward, gentle support that respects their pace. She encourages small changes that fit real life and helps people build on strengths they already have. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory’s intake process and book according to the available schedule.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In practice this means talking about family patterns, exploring how you connect with others, and trying small changes to improve bonding and communication. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering listening, acceptance and gentle reflection to help people understand their experience and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Elizabeth will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they check what feels useful and adapt the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family life, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or reduce travel time. It can also help people stay consistent with appointments when childcare or work makes in-person sessions difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally tailor how they run sessions to suit each client's routine and needs.
