Online Therapy & Counselling Across the UK
A space for you to be heard
Hello and a really warm welcome. I’m Elizabeth Paterson, you can call me Beth. I’m a BACP Accredited therapist offering online therapy and counselling across the UK.
You may seem capable and breezy on the outside, meeting your friends and deadlines in your stride. But beneath that, anxiety is never far away. You keep yourself busy to avoid difficult thoughts creeping in, perhaps shopping has become a way of lifting your mood, or you notice that everyday things seem harder than they once did.
Maybe you’re feeling stuck, stressed or disconnected. Perhaps you’ve become so used to getting on with things that you’ve lost sight of what you need. You might find yourself questioning why the same patterns keep repeating, why relationships feel more difficult than they should, or why you’re left feeling exhausted by trying to hold everything together.
You don’t need to be in crisis to come to therapy. You don’t need to have all the answers either. Sometimes it’s enough to recognise that something doesn’t feel quite right, even if you can’t yet put it into words.
I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, and discover what you need, in a safe, compassionate space where you can simply be yourself.
Be yourself
Many people spend a lot of time adapting to fit in, managing other people’s expectations, or wondering how they’ll be perceived. This is somewhere different.
Perhaps you’ve spent years feeling like you don’t quite fit the mould. Maybe you’ve felt pressure to fit expectations that never really felt like yours. This is a space away from those pressures. A place to explore who you are beneath expectations, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been hidden, dismissed, or overlooked.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, identity questions and the unique challenges that can come with neurodivergence.
Alongside my professional training, I’ve continued to develop my understanding of trauma, neurodiversity, and gender and relationship diversity. This helps me offer a space where you can be yourself without feeling you need to explain or justify who you are.
A little about me
I chose this career because life isn’t always smooth, and my own difficult experiences taught me the immense value of being truly heard. I retrained so I could give back what I had received when I needed it most.
The people closest to me carry a rich range of identities and experiences, making inclusivity a core part of who I am, not just a professional label.
When I need to recharge, I lean into my love for creative and sustainable gardening, almost always accompanied by my curious Ragdoll cat, Husky.
