About

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Flynn is a counsellor who blends attachment work with cognitive behavioural ideas. She uses practical conversations to help parents and individuals who feel stuck. Her style is straightforward and focused on what will change day to day life.

She draws on four years of practice in different settings. That includes work alongside mental health teams and in acute and forensic wards, as described in her background. Those experiences have shaped a calm, solution-minded way of working.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and everyday routines. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small, manageable changes. This can mean trying a new way to respond to stress, shifting a sleep or eating routine, or experimenting with boundaries at home.

Parents often seek her out for parenting concerns, stress, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and grief. Work may touch on attachment histories, adoption and foster care, or difficulties with anger and self-esteem.

Her practical approach mixes short-term goal work with attention to emotional patterns. Clients can expect structured tools alongside time to talk through painful memories. The aim is clearer choices and better daily coping, not quick fixes.

Online support

Online approaches that focus on attachment and behaviour

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people see why they react in certain ways and supports building more stable connections in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and problem routines. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small practical steps to change things that are not working. Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that fit the person. That collaborative process makes it easier to try things out and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls suit longer conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a way to fit counselling around a busy day. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
