About Liz

Liz Spencer is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the pressures of relationships. Liz also supports those dealing with grief, self-esteem concerns, career questions and life changes. She has a particular focus on young adult issues and women's concerns.

Liz pays close attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current behaviour. She helps clients identify subconscious beliefs that affect everyday reactions. Sessions often involve talking through relationship dynamics and the ways people cope when under stress.

Her style is client-centred and includes mindfulness techniques to help regulate emotions. That means sessions aim to be practical and grounded, using simple tools to notice thoughts and bodily responses. Liz encourages small, manageable steps clients can practise between meetings.

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems and commitment worries. Work can include looking at feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame and rebuilding a sense of purpose and self-worth. Liz supports people navigating infidelity, jealousy and other relationship crises.

For young adults she focuses on the transitions common to early adulthood - leaving home, starting work or study, and finding direction. Clients who want clear, straightforward conversations about these topics may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. It helps when relationship history affects trust, closeness or reacting strongly to partners and friends. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person's own process. It is about guiding conversations so the client discovers what matters and decides next steps. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions. This can be useful for anxiety, stress and learning to pause before acting.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they respond in sessions. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins between commitments. It also makes it possible to see a registered NCPS counsellor from another country when international working arrangements allow.
