About Elizabeth
Counsellor (BACP) with four years' experience. Elizabeth Ustabas helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self‑esteem, bipolar and depression. She also supports coping with life changes, coaching needs and compassion fatigue.
Elizabeth works with people who want clearer understanding of themselves and their behaviour. She regards clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building a reliable counselling relationship. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with space to talk through current struggles and set manageable steps forward.
In practice she combines evidence‑based therapeutic techniques with an emphasis on attachment and relational patterns. This helps people spot how past experiences affect present reactions and relationships. She also works with issues linked to neurodivergence, including autism and Asperger syndrome, to help clients make sense of their experiences.
Elizabeth draws on her role as a counselling tutor and trainer to bring clear explanations into sessions. That background informs how she structures work, introduces tools, and tracks progress. Conversations are used to build skills for coping, managing impulses, and improving communication.
People who come for short‑term focused work or longer exploration can expect goal‑oriented sessions. Elizabeth invites practical steps between sessions and reviews what is or is not helping. She asks clients to shape the pace and focus so therapy fits real life demands.

Therapeutic approaches used and how online work is handled
Elizabeth uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact. One common method addresses patterns of thinking and coping that keep anxiety and depression active; it helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of responding. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns to reveal how past relationships influence current reactions and communication in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth explores each client’s needs, goals and preferences and chooses techniques together. This collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills and short‑term changes or deeper relational material over time.
Practical benefits of online counselling include easier fitting of sessions into a weekly routine and fewer travel demands. When considering formats, confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions allow quicker check‑ins, the option of audio only when bandwidth is limited, and simpler scheduling around work or family commitments.
