About Liz

Liz Spencer is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem issues, trauma and abuse, career questions, depression and coping with life changes. Liz also focuses on concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Her practice prioritises helping people recognise patterns that come from early relationships. She explains how attachment styles and long-held beliefs shape emotions and behaviour today. Sessions often involve naming those patterns and practising responses that reduce reactivity and shame.

Liz uses a client-centred stance and draws on attachment-based ideas and mindfulness techniques. That means conversations centre on the person’s experience, and practical attention is paid to noticing thoughts, bodily states and emotional reactions. Mindfulness exercises are used to help people build steadier attention and reduce overwhelm.

When working on relationship issues she helps people clarify what they want and how they relate to others. For grief and life change she offers steadier ways to cope and make decisions. For career and life purpose questions she helps people reflect on values, options and next steps without rushing to a solution.

People can expect calm, plain language and a focus on what can be practised between sessions. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see patterns in relationships and how they respond under stress. Online sessions can be used to talk through these patterns, practise new ways of relating and reflect on how early experiences affect current choices.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of sessions. In an online meeting this looks like open conversation where the counsellor listens, reflects and supports the client's priorities rather than imposing an agenda.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These exercises can be guided live in a session and repeated between meetings to notice bodily signals and calm anxious states.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The counsellor will check in about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adjust the approach together with the client as therapy progresses.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the profile does not list specific online formats. Ask about the available ways to meet when you complete the short matching questionnaire. One practical benefit of online meetings is that they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break.
