About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Ustabas works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief and intimacy-related issues, among other concerns. She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and places importance on building a therapeutic relationship. Elizabeth is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience.

Elizabeth offers straightforward talking therapy. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and unpick patterns that cause distress. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them try different ways of coping and communicating.

Her background includes counselling training work at levels 2 to 4, where she tutors aspiring counsellors. That teaching experience shapes her approach and keeps her practice current. She has worked with people who are neurodivergent and those looking to understand themselves better.

Elizabeth also supports people facing relationship breakdown, commitment worries, communication problems and family strains. She helps with issues connected to trauma, post-traumatic stress and self-harm, using calm, structured conversations to make progress.

Clients may work on practical tools for stress reduction, strategies for managing impulses and addiction, or ways to recover from grief and loss. Sessions aim to increase clarity about choices and improve day-to-day coping. The focus is on taking manageable steps and reviewing what helps.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in plain, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behaviour and then testing alternatives in everyday life; this helps with anxiety, depression and managing impulses. Another approach works with relationships and attachment - looking at communication, commitment concerns and patterns learned from past relationships to improve current connections.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor and client discuss goals, try methods and agree what is helping. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as needed to fit the client's priorities.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online counselling can make fitting therapy into life easier, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help sessions fit around work, family and other commitments.
