About Elizabeth
Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Liz focuses on issues young adults often face, such as feeling abandoned, empty, or unsure about how past experiences affect present relationships.
She uses an integrative style, combining conversational listening with more structured tools when useful. That can include straightforward CBT techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour. Liz pays attention to attachment and how early relationships can shape later responses to closeness and conflict.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions often involve talking through what is happening now, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising different ways of responding. She also helps people notice strengths they may be overlooking and rethink harsh self-beliefs that keep them stuck.
Liz has worked with people affected by abuse and exploitation and has experience offering therapeutic support in workplace settings. She mentions her own recovery from a difficult childhood as part of what informs her understanding of long-term effects and how change can feel difficult.
For young adults juggling study, first jobs, money and relationships, Liz offers steady, plainspoken support. She encourages gentle experimentation with new approaches to relationships and self-understanding, while keeping sessions focused on practical next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Elizabeth uses an integrative counselling approach that draws on evidence-based techniques. One commonly used method is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practising practical ways to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood and immediate day-to-day coping strategies.She also pays attention to attachment-focused work, which looks at how early relationships influence current patterns in trust, closeness and conflict. This form of work can help people who feel stuck in repeated relationship cycles or who struggle with fear of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She discusses preferences, needs and goals with each person and then chooses techniques together. The work is collaborative so clients can feed back on what feels useful and what they want to try next.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or family schedules. They also allow for shorter check-ins, not needing to travel, and choices about whether to use video or audio depending on what suits a person that day.
