About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor who draws on four years of clinical experience. She works remotely and has provided therapy across the United Kingdom. Elizabeth aims to create a calm space where people can speak about difficult feelings and life changes without being judged.
She completed a Bachelor of Science in Counselling at the University of East London, a course accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Early clinical roles included work at Islington Mind, where she met people presenting complex emotional and mental health difficulties. She also supported staff at St. Mary's Hospital in the sexual health clinic and volunteered with The Listening Place.
Elizabeth describes her practice as integrative. She blends Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic and mindfulness-informed ideas to suit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what the client brings, explored at a pace that feels manageable.
Her background in yoga and interest in somatics inform her attention to the body-mind connection. That can be useful when anxiety, trauma or chronic stress show up physically as well as emotionally. People come to Elizabeth for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and depression.
She also supports people facing relationship difficulties, challenges around identity and parenting strain. The work often looks to identify patterns, increase self-understanding and open up new choices.

Online support
She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small, practical changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or motivation. Mindfulness-informed practice is used alongside these approaches to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth treats this as a collaborative process and will adapt methods to fit the client's goals and preferences. Together they will decide which ideas to try and adjust them over time based on how they feel and what helps.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other's face for a full conversation. Phone sessions can suit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow therapy to continue without scheduling a call and can suit people who prefer writing or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
