Elizabeth Cockram , BACP

Elizabeth Cockram is a UK-qualified counsellor with 15 years of professional experience across statutory services, the NHS, and private practice. She began her career supporting children and young people within Social Services and later worked within NHS services where she drew on a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talking therapies, and Humanistic Integrative therapy. Elizabeth is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a recognised professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom.

She has substantial experience with both individuals and couples and has developed a particular focus on relationship work, helping intimate partners and whole families explore patterns of relating and resolve ongoing conflicts. Her practice also supports people managing stress and anxiety, obsessive compulsive concerns, phobias, and the emotional adjustments that follow life changes. Elizabeth works with a broad spectrum of presenting issues including trauma, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and difficulties with self-esteem and communication.

Trained in several talking therapies, Elizabeth places the person at the centre of therapeutic work and adapts theory and technique to each client’s needs. She adopts a collaborative stance - walking alongside clients as they address current problems and build practical coping skills for the future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elizabeth commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to inform her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be particularly useful for intimacy, abandonment, and family issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and the therapeutic relationship itself - it helps people find their own ways forward when facing stress, self-esteem concerns, or life transitions. CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and compulsive difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to suit the individual rather than applying a single method.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, while allowing sessions to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
