About Liz
Liz Spencer is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Her work includes a particular focus on guilt and shame alongside issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Sessions aim to uncover patterns that make people feel stuck or isolated. Liz pays attention to the ways nervous system responses show up as anxiety or overwhelm in day-to-day life.
Her style is client-centred, which means conversations follow what matters most to the person in the room. Mindfulness practices are sometimes introduced to help with grounding and noticing thoughts without getting overwhelmed by them. Clients learn simple methods they can use between sessions to manage stress and regulate strong emotions.
Liz offers practical help for common relationship problems such as communication breakdown, jealousy and infidelity-related distress. She also supports people working through career uncertainty, feelings of emptiness, and questions about life purpose. Young adult issues and women’s issues are listed among her focus areas.
Sessions combine talking, reflection and short exercises so people can test new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her approach is collaborative and steady, aimed at increasing self-awareness and emotional clarity over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
She blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred dialogue and mindfulness in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and helps people see how those patterns affect current interactions and self-view. Client-centred work means sessions follow the client's priorities and focus on what feels most pressing in the moment. Mindfulness methods teach simple noticing and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and support calmer responding.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps choose which techniques to use and how to pace the work.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking so they fit with your schedule and surroundings. Many people find it easier to try short check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what suits their day-to-day life.
