About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a counsellor who uses a relational, integrative approach to help people face difficult moments. She holds BACP registration, and speaks English and Swahili. Elizabeth has six years of practice supporting adults through issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties.
She draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns that began in early life. Sessions often look at how past experiences shape current feelings and reactions. Elizabeth uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people notice unhelpful patterns and consider new ways of relating.
Clients bring a wide range of concerns, including grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the impact of abuse or controlling relationships. She also works with stress, intimacy and issues connected to identity and LGBT topics. Elizabeth aims to create a calm space to talk through what feels overwhelming.
Her integrative stance means she adapts methods to fit each person rather than following one fixed technique. That can include exploring personal stories, talking about values and choices, and helping people make sense of confusing emotions. The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between sessions.
Elizabeth offers both face-to-face and online sessions and accepts international clients. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled around availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when worry, avoidance or unhelpful thoughts are holding someone back. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as understanding grows and needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. The biography states she offers online sessions, but specific formats were not detailed here, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work still focuses on listening, reflecting and practical steps between meetings to support change.
