About Elizabeth

Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Liz helps those who struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, attachment concerns, and the weight of past hurt.

She uses an integrative style that blends practical tools with reflective conversation. That can include short structured techniques like CBT - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - alongside more exploratory work on attachment and past experiences. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and offer concrete steps to try between meetings.

Liz often works with people whose early experiences left them feeling empty, alone, or unsure how to trust others. She pays attention to how past caregiving shaped current relationships and helps clients recognise old coping strategies that no longer serve them. The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than big, sudden shifts.

Her experience includes workplace therapeutic roles and supporting families who have experienced abuse and exploitation. She also draws on personal insight from her own healing path, which she says informs her understanding of long-term recovery from childhood harm.

Practical elements of sessions are discussed up front. Clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Liz describes herself as an integrative counsellor who uses evidence-based techniques in service of practical change. One approach she offers is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives concrete strategies to test and change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety and low mood.

She also focuses on attachment-informed work. That involves looking at early caregiving and how it shapes expectations in current relationships, which can help when people struggle with codependency, fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may shift as things move forward.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel, and can allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also remove the need to travel to an appointment, helping therapy feel more manageable alongside everyday life.
