About Elizabeth
Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. Liz also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency and communication struggles.
Liz uses an integrative counselling style and combines conversational and structured ways of working. She listens and helps people identify patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions may include practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches alongside more open exploration of feelings and past experiences.
Many people find it hard to talk about trauma, domestic violence or an unhappy childhood. Liz offers steady, non-judgemental attention while gently challenging self-defeating thoughts. She aims to help people see how old coping strategies still affect their relationships today and to build alternatives that feel workable.
Her background includes therapeutic work in workplace settings and experience supporting families affected by abuse and exploitation. She also draws on personal learning from her own healing journey, which informs how she understands long-term impacts of early adversity.
When someone first contacts Liz they can expect a focus on strengths and practical steps as well as emotional understanding. She will discuss approaches such as conversational counselling and structured CBT-style techniques and decide with the person what fits their needs. Practical tools and clearer ways of looking at problems are a regular part of her sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Elizabeth uses integrative counselling alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. Integrative counselling means blending open, listening-led sessions with more structured techniques so the work can shift between exploring feelings and practicing new ways of thinking. This is useful for relationship difficulties and ongoing emotional patterns.Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small practical tasks. These techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and the self-critical thinking that often accompanies guilt and shame.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, what feels manageable, and which techniques suit personal preferences. Collaboration helps shape sessions that are both realistic and relevant to daily life.
