About Elizabeth
Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low mood. She aims to make first contact straightforward and reassuring. Liz uses a calm, non-judgemental style and focuses on practical steps that can make everyday life feel more manageable.
She emphasises strengths and works with people to notice and challenge self-defeating thoughts. That can mean gentle reflection one week and simple practical exercises the next. Liz pays particular attention to how attachment and early life experiences shape present relationships and coping patterns.
Liz trained as an integrative counsellor, so she draws on different methods to suit each person. That can include creative ways of working, and more structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when that is helpful. She aims to tailor sessions so they fit the issues and preferences of the person in front of her.
Her background includes several years working in workplace settings with families affected by abuse and exploitation. She also speaks from personal experience of coming through a difficult childhood, which informs a compassionate and patient approach to difficult memories and emotions.
Over the course of sessions Liz helps people build self-compassion, understand old coping strategies, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. She encourages small, achievable steps and practical tools that can be used between meetings.
Approaches that can help with attachment and coping
Elizabeth works from an integrative counsellor perspective, combining different evidence-based techniques to suit the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves noticing thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for people who want practical steps to manage day-to-day symptoms.She also draws on attachment-informed work which looks at how early caregiving shapes current relationships and trust. This approach helps people understand recurring patterns in how they relate to others and to themselves. When helpful, creative or experiential methods are used to access feelings that are hard to put into words.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try different approaches, and agree what feels most helpful. That shared process makes it easier to try new strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote work, while others may be better in person; the therapist will discuss what suits each person's needs and daily routine.
