About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Ustabas helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and loss. She works with those managing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and with people dealing with ADHD, low self-esteem, anger, or intimacy-related problems. She speaks English and practices from the United Kingdom with four years of experience and BACP registration.
Elizabeth takes a straightforward and respectful approach in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their life and focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
How Elizabeth works
Sessions aim to be conversational and practical, so people can try small changes between meetings. Her work pays attention to patterns shaped by attachment, communication and life events. Elizabeth supports people exploring grief, compassion fatigue, self-harm, impulse control, and the aftermath of abuse or PTSD.
She also helps those navigating divorce, commitment doubts, and family-related stresses. People who are neurodivergent, including those with autism or Asperger syndrome, are welcome to look at how strengths and coping styles affect daily life. Elizabeth offers coaching-style support when clients want focused goal-setting alongside therapy.
Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Costs vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then tests small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, depression, anxiety and some forms of impulsivity.Another strand of work pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns. It helps clients see how past relationships shape responses now, and supports building healthier ways of relating and communicating in close connections. This can be helpful for intimacy issues, communication problems, commitment concerns and family-related stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their needs, goals and preferences, and she may combine coaching elements when people want targeted steps and accountability.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session; phone can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter set-up is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera, offering flexibility to fit therapy around work and daily life.
