Elizabeth Cockram, BACP

Elizabeth Cockram offers calm, practical support for people struggling with relationships, stress, anxiety and big life changes. She is BACP accredited and brings 15 years of practice to sessions, helping clients untangle patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Her approach aims to be straightforward and compassionate so people can start making small changes quickly.

Libby draws on several therapy styles to suit each person’s needs. She uses attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape current ones. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Mindfulness and client-centred ideas help people slow down and reflect on what matters most to them.

Her background includes work in Social Services and roles within the NHS, plus running a independent practice. That mix means she has seen many different problems and knows how to adapt her work to each person. She has experience helping with relationship conflict, intimacy-related issues, family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar.

Elizabeth also offers support around parenting pressures, communication problems, attachment and adoption topics, body image, chronic illness and pain, and compassion fatigue. She is comfortable talking about kink and alternative sex culture and can help people work through related concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange appointments according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and communication. Online sessions can use this approach to map those patterns and try new ways of relating, which helps with relationship and intimacy issues.

Client-centred therapy concentrates on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of their feelings. This style supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through life stresses and grief.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new actions. It is often practical and goal-oriented, and it can be useful for anxiety, OCD, phobias and mood difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change as work progresses, and the focus is reviewed together.

If you are considering online work, check which session types are offered before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, such as shortening a check-in during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing not to be on camera when that helps. Many people find that having sessions from where they are helps sustain therapy alongside other commitments.
