Elizabeth Gichuki , BACP

Elizabeth Gichuki is a qualified relational and integrative psychotherapist who offers both in-person and online support to young people and adults. With six years of clinical experience, she has helped individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and bereavement. Her practice also includes work with survivors of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as people recovering from narcissistic relationships.

As an integrative therapist she blends person-centered and psychodynamic ideas, using creative approaches that can include exploring early life experiences and inner-child work. This flexible framework allows her to tailor therapy to each person, drawing on a range of tools to suit different needs and situations. Elizabeth places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for making sense of painful events and building new coping strategies.

Based in the United Kingdom, she holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional training and ethical standards. Elizabeth supports clients through times of crisis, transition, and ongoing difficulty, helping them explore the issues that make life feel stuck and to work toward a clearer, more manageable way of living.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care with Elizabeth

Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and it supports building actions that align with personal values - useful for anxiety, stress, and avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and can help with intimacy, abandonment, and trust issues by exploring relational needs and safety. Client-Centered Therapy offers a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the person’s experience is central and the pace is set by the client - this is particularly helpful for grief, low self-esteem, and transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Elizabeth works collaboratively to identify methods that fit each person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques and the pace of work as trust and understanding develop.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, travel, or busy routines while connecting with a licensed professional who can support progress over time.
