Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing, NCPS

Elizabeth 'Liz' Billing offers a compassionate, non-judgemental approach to counselling, focused on helping people feel comfortable from the very first contact. She works holistically to provide practical, solution-focused tools while drawing attention to a person’s existing strengths and gently challenging self-defeating thoughts and beliefs. Her practice emphasises self-compassion and deeper understanding of long-standing coping patterns that can make current relationships harder to navigate.

She is particularly interested in the effects of attachment and trauma on emotional life and interpersonal connections. Liz supports individuals who are struggling with relationship difficulties, survivors of trauma or violence, and people carrying burdens that feel too heavy to share. She also works with those who experienced adversity or neglect in early life and who may feel overwhelmed by shame or a sense that something is fundamentally wrong.

Trained as an integrative counsellor, Liz blends different therapeutic methods and can offer more structured approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when appropriate. Her therapeutic background includes work in workplace settings supporting families who have experienced abuse and exploitation. She also draws on personal insight gained from her own healing journey after an unhappy childhood, which informs a compassionate witnessing stance as she supports others exploring difficult inner material.

Liz holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling credential, and combines creative listening with practical strategies to help people move toward greater self-acceptance, healthier relationships, and more adaptive coping.
