Hi, I'm Elizabeth Housden, and I'm glad you're here.
I'm a BACP-registered counsellor with over 15 years of counselling experience and more than 25 years working in the mental health field. I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and understood.
My core training is in integrative therapy, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your individual needs. Together, we'll explore what's going on for you and work at your pace to help you move toward clarity, healing, and strength.
I've worked with adults and young people facing a wide range of issues, including: anxiety, addiction, stress, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, bereavement and grief, self-harm, low self-esteem
My background includes working in schools, specialist services, and community settings. I currently work within a peripatetic team and also provide therapy here on BetterHelp.
Alongside my professional training, I bring personal lived experience of overcoming challenges. I believe this allows me to connect with my clients in an authentic, human way-with deep empathy, compassion, and a genuine desire to help.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. That's okay. Therapy can be a powerful step toward understanding yourself, gaining perspective, and finding new ways to cope and grow. You don't have to go through this alone-I'm here to walk beside you

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
