About Elizabeth

Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing works on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression by using a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person's needs. She is registered with NCPS and has seven years' experience in therapeutic work. She offers practical ways to look at problems and to develop new ways of coping.

Liz listens to what has happened and how it affects day-to-day life. She helps people name patterns in relationships and behaviour. She may use structured techniques such as cognitive behavioural approaches alongside more open conversations, depending on what is useful.

Her work gives attention to attachment and the effects of early adversity. She supports people who have experienced abuse, exploitation or domestic violence, and those who feel drained by caregiving or complex family arrangements. She also works with issues such as codependency, loss, separation and feelings of emptiness.

Liz has worked in workplace therapeutic settings and with families affected by abuse and exploitation over several years. Her own life experience has informed her understanding of long-term recovery and personal change. She uses that perspective to help people consider alternative responses to old coping strategies.

In sessions she combines listening with practical tools. This can include structured tasks or reflective conversation, chosen together with the client. People are encouraged to try approaches that fit their goals and everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Elizabeth combines evidence-based approaches with conversational work to address problems in daily life. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thinking and practising different responses; these can help with anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections influence current behaviour; this can be useful for relationship difficulties and issues linked to abandonment or dependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what helps most. This collaboration means sessions can shift between practical tasks and reflective conversation as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work with a therapist based in the UK without needing to travel, while decisions about session length and frequency are made together.
