About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Ustabas is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger and low self-esteem.
She emphasises that clients know their own story and brings a collaborative stance to sessions. Elizabeth values the relationship built in the room and uses it to help people explore what gets in the way of coping and connection. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as understanding patterns.
Her background includes counselling practice and work as a counselling tutor, delivering courses at levels 2 to 4. That training role keeps her thinking about therapeutic skills and how to explain them clearly. She also has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and those managing addictions.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns such as impulsivity, control issues or difficulties with communication. Elizabeth also addresses attachment concerns, grief, post-traumatic stress symptoms and issues around commitment or separation. Her approach mixes exploration of past experience with concrete strategies for managing intense feelings.
People who come to her can expect a steady, practical style. She aims to help clients develop skills for calmer responding, clearer boundaries and more reliable emotional regulation. For anyone worried about anger or impulsive reactions, she offers a way to talk through what happens and try different ways of handling it.
How sessions work
How Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques online
Elizabeth works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at understanding patterns and reducing intense reactions. One common approach focuses on identifying triggers and teaching practical skills to manage strong feelings, which can help with anger, anxiety and impulsivity. Another approach looks at attachment and interpersonal patterns, helping people see how past relationships shape current responses and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree on methods to try. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what the client finds most useful, with an emphasis on practical skills and clearer ways of responding to stressors.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise skills between meetings in real-life contexts and brings therapy into day-to-day routines without promising any particular delivery method.
