Lizzie Kincaid Counselling Service

COUNSELLING in Birmingham

About me

I’m Lizzie, a counsellor specializing in addiction and recovery support for individuals and families. I work with people affected by substance addiction and compulsive or addictive behaviours—such as gambling, sex, shopping, or other patterns that can feel overwhelming or hard to change—as well as the emotional challenges that so often come with them, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties.

With a background in occupational therapy, I’ve worked across both the NHS and social services, supporting people at all stages of recovery. My work is grounded in both professional training and lived experience, giving me a real-world understanding of what you may be going through. Having navigated my own journey from addiction to recovery, I bring a unique, empathetic perspective to my work. This personal experience fuels my commitment to helping others break the cycle and create lasting change.

It is important for you to find someone you feel comfortable to work with, my first task is to build a strong therapeutic relationship, which is open, accepting, understanding and honest. Together we can explore all of who you are, integrating all parts of you.

If you or someone you love feels trapped in addiction or caught in a cycle of unhealthy coping, reaching out for support can feel daunting—but it’s also one of the bravest and most transformative steps you can take.
