About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor who trained with a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London. She has four years of clinical experience, offering help in person, online and by phone to people across the United Kingdom. Elizabeth draws on a range of therapeutic ideas to shape sessions around each persons needs.
Her early clinical roles included work at Islington Mind, where she provided one-to-one counselling for complex emotional and mental health issues.
How Elizabeth works
She also supported staff at St. Marys Hospital in a sexual health clinic setting and volunteered with The Listening Place, a charity offering face-to-face support for people in crisis. Elizabeth brings an interest in the mind-body link to her practice, informed by a background in yoga and somatic experience.
That interest surfaces in the way she pays attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thought. Sessions can include gentle attention to bodily experience alongside talking and reflection. Her approach is integrative.
She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, client-centred listening to follow what the person wants to say, and cognitive-behavioural and mindfulness techniques for practical coping. This mix is chosen to match what each person needs rather than a fixed routine.
People come to Elizabeth for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship or intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD and questions about identity. She works at a pace that feels manageable and aims to help people make clearer choices and find more meaning in day-to-day life.

How Elizabeth's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to sessions, offering a space where people feel heard and understood. This approach helps with self-exploration and developing clearer personal goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy emphasises present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as therapy progresses. That means practical techniques can be combined with deeper exploration as needed, and the plan can change if something is not helpful.
Online therapy with Elizabeth uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls suit longer talks and visual connection, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
