She first offered therapeutic services in the community at The CASSEL Centre in Lewisham. She worked at MIND in Greenwich and at WPF in London Bridge.

Elizabeth's style of work follows an integrative approach with a skilful use of a number of different therapeutic techniques and theories to facilitate a flexible client-centred approach. Her application of CBT comprises traditional methods such as exposure response prevention (ERP) and behavioural activation (BA), augmented by third wave CBT therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive de-fusion, values and identity, psychological flexibility, mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT).
