About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a BACP counsellor who uses a relational and integrative approach in her work. She draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people untangle difficult patterns and feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She has six years of practice supporting adults with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger. She also helps people who are managing grief, ADHD, and sleeping challenges. Her experience includes working with survivors of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and people coming out of narcissistic relationships.
Elizabeth often explores how early experiences shape current relationships and feelings. She may use gentle inner-child work and narrative tasks to help people make sense of upsetting memories. Sessions focus on building understanding and practical steps that fit into everyday life.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She listens for patterns, then offers ways to try things differently. People who are worn down by repeated problems are helped to notice small changes that add up over time.
Elizabeth offers therapy in English and Swahili and works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. To begin, clients are guided through a simple matching process and then schedule sessions that suit their circumstances.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and rest-focused work
Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her practice. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and it works well for anxiety, stress and sleep struggles by focusing on values and small practical steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can clarify recurring arguments, intimacy issues and problems with trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, attachment work or person-centred conversations are most helpful at any stage.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to work from a quieter setting or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably.
