About Elizabeth
Counsellor Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing is a member of NCPS and has seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. She uses a mix of methods and offers both creative and structured ways to talk through what is happening now and how the past may be affecting current relationships.
Liz listens for the practical problems people bring. She works with relationship upset, separation, communication problems and family strain. She also supports people who have experienced domestic violence, abuse, neglect or other traumatic events that have left them feeling empty, overwhelmed or disconnected.
Her approach combines different methods. She can offer structured sessions such as cognitive behavioural therapy, alongside more creative or reflective work. Sessions include exploring attachment issues, abandonment, codependency, dissociation and difficulties with control or dependency.
She draws on several years of workplace practice supporting families affected by abuse and exploitation. That experience sits alongside her personal learning about growing up with an unhappy childhood, which she says informs how she listens and what she offers in sessions.
People can expect conversations that try to identify what helps ahead of focusing only on problems. Practical tools and ways of seeing patterns are used alongside gentle challenge of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Liz aims to help people notice strengths and consider different ways of relating and coping.
Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and any practical arrangements. The counsellor works in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Liz describes a mix of structured and creative methods. Cognitive behavioural therapy is one approach she uses; it focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to ease anxiety and low mood. Attachment-informed work is another strand; this looks at patterns in relationships and how early care can shape current ways of relating.Choosing a method is usually collaborative. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and what feels most useful, then try an approach and review how it is working. Adjustments can be made as the work progresses so the plan reflects the client’s needs and preferences.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online options can also make shorter check-ins easier when life is busy. Before booking, confirm which session formats she currently offers so you know how you will meet and how to plan for sessions.
