Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing
Compassionate integrative counsellor for relationship and trauma issues
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing offers support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship pain, family difficulties, and the impact of trauma and abuse. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make first contact feel manageable for someone who is nervous about reaching out. Her style combines practical tools with gentle exploration.
She focuses on strengths and helps people spot and challenge self-defeating thoughts. Sessions can be either more open and creative or structured and focused, depending on what a person needs.
Background and approach
Liz has seven years of therapeutic experience. She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds NCPS, which is listed as her credential. That background has included working in workplace settings and supporting people affected by abuse and exploitation.
She has a particular interest in attachment and trauma and how early experiences shape relationships and coping patterns. That interest informs her work with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, dissociation and the lasting effects of domestic violence or childhood hurt. Practically, Liz helps people untangle patterns that make relationships harder.
She supports those feeling empty, overwhelmed, or stuck after separation or when caregiving responsibilities become too much. Her approach is grounded, compassionate and aimed at helping people move toward more self-compassion and better day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Many of Liz's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach she uses is cognitive behavioural style work, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to change them. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it focuses on small, manageable changes to thinking and behaviour.She also works from an integrative, trauma-informed perspective that pays attention to attachment and early experiences. This involves listening to the story of past hurts, exploring how those patterns show up now, and gradually learning kinder ways of relating to oneself and others. That approach can help with issues such as abandonment, dissociation and relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try different ways of working and adjust methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. It is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can fit into a short break or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
