Elizabeth Cockram , BACP

Elizabeth Cockram is a UK-based counsellor with 15 years of professional experience working across public services and private practice. She has supported children and young people within Social Services, delivered therapeutic work within the National Health Service using approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other talking therapies, and has maintained a private practice alongside online work. Elizabeth holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership, and brings a breadth of experience from those varied settings.

She works with individuals, couples, and families, with a particular focus on relationship and family dynamics, intimacy-related concerns, and the patterns that shape how people relate to one another. Her clinical work also addresses stress, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive difficulties, phobias, and the challenges of adjusting to life changes, alongside areas such as trauma, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiverse presentations like ADHD.

Trained in multiple talking therapies, Elizabeth places the person at the centre of the therapeutic process and draws on theory and technique as needed. Her style is collaborative and supportive - she accompanies clients as they explore difficulties, identify goals, and build practical strategies to manage change and improve wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Elizabeth uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds and relationship patterns influence current feelings and interactions - this work can help with intimacy concerns, attachment issues, and relationship repair. She also draws on the Gottman Method for couples and family work, focusing on communication patterns, conflict management, and strengthening emotional connection to improve how partners relate to one another. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her practice as a practical, skills-based approach to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop concrete strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to assess needs, clarify goals, and determine which methods fit best, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to remain responsive to individual preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those balancing work, family, or geographical distance. Working remotely makes it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations while maintaining regular contact and continuity of care.
