Elizabeth Gichuki uses an integrative, relational approach to therapy. She combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas to help people untangle what feels overwhelming. Elizabeth speaks English and Swahili and practises in the United Kingdom.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She helps people who are managing anxiety, depression, grief and anger. She also supports those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD and parenting strain.

Background and approach

Elizabeth has experience with trauma and abuse, including recovery after narcissistic relationships and other forms of harm. In sessions she uses creative, person-centred methods alongside deeper explorations of early experience. That might include looking at how past relationships shaped current patterns and recurring feelings.

Work can involve reflective conversation, noticing patterns, and gentle exploration of difficult memories. Elizabeth aims to help people understand what is making life harder right now. She supports practical steps for managing mood, sleep and stress, while also exploring longer-term changes in relationships and self-image.

Therapy is presented as a collaborative process tailored to each person. Her six years of practice include both face-to-face and online formats. People can expect room to speak without rush, with the focus set by their concerns and goals.

The overall aim is clearer understanding, improved coping, and more choice about how to live moving forward.

How Elizabeth's approaches work online

Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by building practical ways to act despite difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and self-image. It helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy, abandonment worries or repeated relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will discuss different methods and help identify what fits each person's goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasise present-focused strategies, deeper relational work, or a mix that changes over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions and live chat suit shorter check-ins or days with less bandwidth. Text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
