About Elizabeth
Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Liz also names issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and caregiver stress among areas she addresses.
Liz aims to help people notice how past experiences affect current relationships. She explains patterns that can leave someone feeling empty, overwhelmed or stuck. Conversations focus on recognising old coping strategies and finding different ways to respond in day-to-day life.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and uses a mix of methods. That can include structured work such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside more exploratory ways of working. The choice of approach is guided by what a person finds useful and practical.
Much of her experience comes from working with adults affected by abuse and exploitation and from supporting people in workplace settings. She also draws on personal experience of recovery from a difficult childhood to inform how she listens and plans sessions.
Sessions aim to be direct and practical. Topics often include communication problems, blended family tensions, grief from separation, codependency and difficulty with commitment. People are invited to look at specific problems and try manageable steps between sessions.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Liz describes herself as an integrative counsellor and mentions Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Integrative work means she draws on different methods so sessions can be conversational or more structured depending on the issue. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practical changes in behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and problem-solving.She is also interested in attachment and trauma and will look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That work often involves noticing interaction patterns and practising small changes in how someone relates to others. Together the client and counsellor decide which techniques to try and adapt them as progress unfolds.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter practical check-ins, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use remote sessions to make therapy more accessible while helping clients apply new skills between meetings.
