So far so good, but we've only spoken twice. But we chat on the plaform regularly and I am confident she reads what I write and takes it into consideration when we speak.

How can I help you? By listening and hearing what you say, by not judging, being open minded and gently guiding you and not telling you what to do - I am willing to help you. Here is a little bit about me - the only time I will talk a long time about me but its what I can offer you and other little snippets
I am a Registered member of the BACP and accredited member of the NCPS, here in the UK, with many years experience helping clients who have been through grief, abuse (sexual, mental, physical, emotional, monetary), bullying, anxiety, their sexuality or even their uniqueness of Aspergers, Sex or Porn Addiction, you are an abuser and want to change or just coming to terms with who they are.
I am over 60 and along with my age comes wisdom and experience to enable me to help you who is the important person in this therapeutic relationship. I am unique and what you see is what you get that being said there is not a lot that that you could empart that would phase me, I will accept you as you are and will help you become the person you want to be.
I treat everyone with the respect they deserve whilst keeping their confidentiality along with my non-judgemental approach. My counselling style is mainly Humanistic (you the client are the most important person in the room) that is person centred but also if needed I utilise the skills and Knowledge I have regarding cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) - we will work together to find the best way forward for you.
You have taken the first and hardest step by looking for help to work out your perceived problem and I am here to help by supporting and empowering you to change or accept depending on your needs. Remember we do not have to change who we are to 'fit in'.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is great
I've received a lot of help from Elizabeth for dealing with ruminating thoughts. This has improved a lot my overall well-being (I sleep much better now). Elizabeth is always kind and insightful. She is also really good at teaching you to be "kinder with yourself".
Elizabeth is a great therapist and a great person. Immediately I felt comfortable to talk to her and she showed great professionalism whilst also being down to Earth and relatable. Can't have wished for a better therapist to be allocated to!
Elizabeth Brereton is easy to talk to and makes the whole process fun. She is understanding and caring and shows compassion in her work. She listens and tries to respond accordingly, giving advice but mostly encouraging and supporting my own ideas. I have enjoyed working with her
I am only 2 sessions in with Elizabeth but I feel comfortable talking to her about my issues and I have not felt judged or patronised. Elizabeth is a good active listener with useful insights into my problems. She is calm, patient, and self depricating. I feel relaxed and able to open up to her, and I am confident that her advice is sound and appropriate.
Elizabeth has been great so far. She has listened intently and offered sound advice.
I have had three sessions .She is brilliant light attentive and supportive She acts as a mirror to me and at the end of each session I have worked out another little bit of me that needs love and attention and feel a little lighter .Her tips are so practical and obtainable
Elizabeth has really helped me through a very difficult point in my life - her compassion, understanding and gentle nature has made it possible for me to really understand my thoughts, feelings and learn to put up essential boundaries for my personal life. I don’t believe I would be in such a good place at the moment if it wasn’t for Liz’s help. I am eternally grateful. Thank you Liz.
Elizabeth listens, and also has a fantastic way of communicating with me. It’s rare to find a counsellor who isn’t stiff upper lip and brings themselves into the conversation without overtaking. A perfect balance is struck!
What an amazing woman! Thank you Elizabeth for listening and getting me back to my normal self again. You really helped me get back on track so, thank you!
Liz has a wonderful approach to counselling. She listens actively and has so many ways to teach me how to manage my thoughts and feelings. I really appreciate how flexible Liz is and how much she cares and wants to help me.
I feel very supported and safe and listened to properly, which is exactly what I need right now. I feel that I can trust Liz and move forward at my own pace, with her providing gentle reminders to look after myself.
Elizabeth has listened to the things that are troubling me without judging me or criticising me. She provides me with suggestions to help me and lots of support which has helped me rebuild my self belief.
Elizabeth has been such a gem in my journey to a healthier mind. She has made me laugh and smile so much! But on the other hand has been very respectful and listens whilst releasing some troubled events from my past. So pleased to have been brought together! One amazing lady
Elizabeth is a great therapist. She is non judgmental, very approachable and easy to connect with. She made me feel at ease and heard from the first session. Thank you!
