Elizabeth Gichuki , BACP

Elizabeth Gichuki is a qualified relational and integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience offering both face-to-face and online therapy to young people and adults. She works with clients across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and bereavement, and has supported survivors of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse as well as people who have experienced narcissistic relationships.

As an integrative psychotherapist, Elizabeth draws on person-centred and psychodynamic influences, including work that can explore early life experiences and inner child themes. She adapts her approach to each person, using a variety of therapeutic tools to suit the needs and preferences of the individual. Her practice emphasises building understanding about oneself, oneâs relationships, and the patterns that can leave someone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or in crisis.

Elizabeth holds BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates her professional affiliation with that body. She offers therapy in English and Swahili and is accepting new clients, including international clients. Her work aims to help people gain clarity, develop coping strategies, and move toward the life they want through a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Elizabeth Gichuki

Elizabeth commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred principles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings rather than being overwhelmed by them - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape present-day patterns and emotional responses, which can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a compassionate, non-directive stance that trusts the clientâs capacity to find solutions when provided with empathy and understanding - it supports self-esteem, grief work, and navigating life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time she adjusts tools and techniques as the work evolves so the client feels supported and involved in planning their care.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access licensed professionals from different locations, and continue therapeutic work in ways that suit individual lives.
