Elizabeth Kew, BACP

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Elizabeth often uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person’s goals at the heart of each session. This approach means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the client’s concerns and adapts the pace and focus to what feels most useful. Client-centred work helps with building trust, clarity and self-direction.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping skills that you want to practise between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss options, try different techniques and decide what fits your needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with this counsellor is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you maintain face-to-face contact; phone sessions can be more flexible when you need less bandwidth; live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to continue therapy while travelling or living abroad.
