Elizabeth Gichuki, BACP

Elizabeth Gichuki is a qualified relational and integrative therapist who offers support to young people and adults through both face-to-face and online sessions. With six years of clinical experience, she has worked with individuals facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and bereavement, and has supported survivors of physical, sexual and emotional abuse as well as those emerging from narcissistic relationships.

As an integrative psychotherapist she blends creative person-centered and psychodynamic approaches, including inner-child work, to explore how early experiences influence present patterns. Her practice emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a route to understanding what has become unhelpful, building insight into self and others, and developing practical ways to move forward. Therapy is tailored to each person, drawing on a range of tools and methods chosen to match individual needs and goals.

Elizabeth aims to help clients make sense of difficult experiences and to restore a sense of agency so they can build the life they want. She holds BACP credentials - membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides services in English and Swahili.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression and challenges that involve avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating to others. It can be helpful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, attachment difficulties and ongoing relationship patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening and collaboration so clients can discover their own strengths and build self-understanding. This approach supports self-esteem, coping with life changes and finding clarity around personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, easier access for international clients and continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. These options make it possible to engage in therapy from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective, tailored support.
