About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Ustabas supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, low self-esteem and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar. She also helps with intimacy concerns, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and impulsivity. Elizabeth makes space for practical worries as well as painful emotions.

Elizabeth works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps to ease day-to-day strain. Her background includes four years working as a therapist alongside experience teaching counselling at levels 2 to 4. That teaching role keeps her thinking about core counselling skills and how people learn to apply them between sessions.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape the work in simple, practical terms. Clients who are neurodivergent have come to Elizabeth to better understand themselves and find ways to manage stress, relationships and routines. She also offers support around grief, past trauma, addiction recovery and challenges with communication and commitment.

Conversations are held in plain language and arranged to fit each person’s life. Elizabeth holds BACP as her listed professional credential and practises from the United Kingdom. Sessions are available in English and offered online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Elizabeth lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape practical work in sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice patterns and try different responses in everyday situations.

Another approach centres on building and practising new coping skills for stress, addictive urges and emotional overwhelm. Sessions break skills into small steps so they can be used between meetings, helping with impulse control, anger and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right way of working is a joint process. The therapist will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods to match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative approach means techniques are chosen together rather than imposed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone suits shorter check-ins or times of low bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day or provide a quieter way to share thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life while keeping a consistent schedule.
