About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She sees adults who are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, anger and low self-esteem. Sessions are held in English and Swahili, and she accepts international clients.
She uses an integrative approach that draws on person-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means conversations can address present difficulties and also look at earlier life experiences that still affect feelings and responses now. Elizabeth explains things plainly and helps clients make sense of how patterns began and continue.
Her work often involves practical steps alongside talking. She may use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how close relationships shape reactions such as anger or mistrust.
Elizabeth has worked with people affected by abuse, bereavement and ADHD-related challenges, and she lists compassion fatigue, career issues and parenting among her focus areas. She aims to help people recognise triggers, try different ways of responding, and practice clearer communication where that is helpful.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. To start, users are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and decide on values-led steps. ACT can be useful for managing anger, stress and low mood by focusing on small, practical changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand patterns in close relationships that feed anger or distance.Therapy is framed as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss approaches and together with the client decide what makes the most sense for their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying an ACT exercise one week and a narrative or attachment focus the next, then checking what helped.
The profile notes experience with both face-to-face and online work, but it does not list specific online formats here. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote meetings so that practical tools and reflective conversation still form the core of the work.
