Elizabeth Ustabas, BACP

Elizabeth Ustabas is a licensed therapist based in the United Kingdom and a counselling tutor who delivers training at levels 2 to 4. She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her professional standing in the counselling field.

With four years of clinical experience, Elizabeth supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, bipolar disorder, depression and a range of intimacy-related and self-esteem challenges. Her additional focus includes attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication and commitment issues, family problems, self-harm and coping with life changes.

Elizabeth works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths play a central role in recovery. She prioritises the therapeutic relationship, creating a non-judgemental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and develop practical coping strategies. Combining her clinical practice with experience as a counselling tutor, she integrates teaching and coaching into therapy to help clients learn new skills and approaches to everyday challenges. Elizabeth is committed to walking alongside clients through the effort and trust that change requires, with the aim of helping them move toward greater wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, helping clients develop clearer perspectives and more effective ways of coping with stress, anxiety and mood concerns.

She also employs approaches aimed at processing difficult experiences and reducing their ongoing impact, offering structured ways to explore trauma, relationship wounds and grief while building emotional resilience and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth works together with each person to choose and adapt techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences, reviewing progress and adjusting methods as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and practice new skills between meetings with the support of a registered professional.
