About Elizabeth Hughes

Elizabeth Hughes is a UK-based psychotherapist who specializes in offering online therapy to adults facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with people dealing with depression and anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, domestic violence, trauma and abuse, and the many ways these experiences can undermine motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice centers on creating a calm, compassionate space where empathy and non-judgment form the foundation of the therapeutic relationship.

In sessions she helps clients explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to their current difficulties, supporting them to gain fresh insights and challenge beliefs that no longer serve them. Over time this process can support a return of self-awareness, increased confidence, and a stronger sense of control and resilience when facing life’s challenges. Elizabeth holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Elizabeth emphasizes a collaborative, caring approach, and she invites people who feel ready to take the next step to consider working with her as they pursue recovery, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy and What It Offers

Elizabeth uses several evidence-based approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a more meaningful life - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy places the relationship at the heart of the work, offering empathy, active listening, and non-judgment so clients feel understood and able to explore sensitive issues - this approach suits those seeking a compassionate space to process emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, providing practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to attend sessions from home, during breaks, or while traveling. These formats allow ongoing support that fits into busy lives and accommodate different comfort levels with communication, while preserving the core elements of effective therapy provided by licensed professionals.
