About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki works in a relational, integrative way that focuses on the therapeutic relationship. She uses a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of current problems and the early experiences that influence them. Elizabeth has six years of experience supporting people with anxiety and depression.
She also helps those dealing with relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and bereavement. Her background includes work with survivors of physical, sexual and emotional abuse and people who have left narcissistic relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to create a space where clients can talk openly about what is hard. Conversations can look at patterns that repeat in relationships and explore childhood experiences where useful. The pace is set by the person in therapy and choices about focus emerge together.
She draws on creative, person-centred methods alongside psychodynamic ideas. This may include noticing feelings in the body, exploring important relationships, and looking at life stories that shape self-view. The goal is clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.
Elizabeth works in English and Swahili and sees people in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. To begin, clients follow a simple matching process and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Elizabeth works online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations of others and yourself. By exploring attachment patterns, people often gain insight into repeating relationship problems and learn new ways of connecting.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens openly and follows the client's lead so that understanding and self-direction can develop at a natural pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what feels most helpful. This decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
For practical matters, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins that suit work or family rhythms. Different ways of meeting can support quieter conversations, shorter check-ins, or longer exploratory work depending on what you need.
