About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Kew is a counsellor who trained in counselling with a Bachelor of Science in Counselling from the University of East London. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works with people across the United Kingdom online and by phone.

Her background includes NHS work and charity volunteering, and she brings that variety into her approach. Elizabeth uses a flexible, person-focused way of working.

Background and approach

Sessions start with listening to what matters to the individual and what they hope to change. Conversations move at a pace that feels manageable and safe, and the focus is on practical steps as well as understanding patterns. Her experience includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

She also supports concerns such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, low self-esteem, ADHD, and career strain. Relationship, intimacy-related and family difficulties are also within her scope. Elizabeth blends ideas from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural approaches, psychodynamic thinking and mindfulness.

She pays attention to the body and somatic experience, drawing on her background in yoga to notice how physical habits and feelings link to emotions. People who prefer a collaborative, exploratory style often find her approach helpful. She will work with each person to identify patterns and choices, and to try ways of coping that fit everyday life.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can try online

Elizabeth often draws on client-centred ideas which focus on the person’s experience, listening closely and offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and to work out what matters to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical techniques for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of how she works. She will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then agree on a plan together. That plan can shift as therapy progresses so it fits the person and the issue they bring.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as timing flexibility, easier access from different places, and a range of formats to suit how someone prefers to communicate. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are helpful when video is not convenient, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
