About Elizabeth
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years' experience, working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and depression. Elizabeth Housden helps people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions, worry, loss or difficult past experiences. She works in plain language and supports clients to make practical changes they can use day to day.
Elizabeth practises an integrative approach, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to fit the person's needs. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going, developing coping strategies, and building more helpful patterns of thinking and behaving. She pays attention to attachment and relationship themes when they are relevant, and helps people process issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, or blended family situations.
Her work also addresses complex problems such as codependency, domestic violence, substance misuse, emptiness, guilt and shame. For people facing midlife change, panic attacks, personality difficulties or post-traumatic stress, she offers structured ways to manage symptoms alongside space to talk about meaning and purpose.
Elizabeth's background includes roles in schools, specialist services and community settings. That range informs a practical style that combines talking, problem-solving and coping skills practice. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
To begin a course of work she uses a matching questionnaire and scheduling system so a first session can be arranged. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Sheet 2
How evidence-based approaches are used in online therapy
Elizabeth uses an integrative model that draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That approach mixes talking work with practical skills so clients can change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, panic attacks and low mood because it focuses on recognising triggers and building coping strategies.Attachment-focused thinking is another strand in her practice. This looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand patterns in their close relationships. For trauma-related concerns she employs structured, evidence-informed ways of helping people manage symptoms and process difficult memories alongside stabilisation skills.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss different methods and agree on a plan based on the person's goals, needs and preferences. Adjustments can be made as work progresses so the approach stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, and offer ways of keeping momentum between in-person meetings where those are arranged.
