About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a counsellor who uses a relational, integrative approach to help people facing anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Elizabeth speaks English and Swahili and works with adults both online and in person across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She offers a calm space to talk through grief, anger, trauma and issues linked to self-esteem.
Background and approach
Practical concerns such as sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and coping with life changes are also common topics. She has experience supporting people who identify as LGBT and those coping with compassion fatigue or ADHD-related challenges. Her practice mixes reflective conversation with targeted techniques.
Sessions might look at how early relationships shape current patterns, or focus on values and small steps to change unhelpful habits. The aim is to help people make sense of difficult feelings and regain more control over daily life. Elizabeth brings six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.
She has worked with survivors of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and with people leaving controlling or narcissistic relationships. This background informs a careful, trauma-aware way of working. Therapy is tailored to the individual.
Some people prefer longer, exploratory work while others want short-term practical support. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different routines and needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. Sessions can be exploratory over time or focused on short-term changes depending on what the client wants.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging works well for quick check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel.
