Elizabeth Gichuki, BACP

Elizabeth Gichuki is a counsellor who uses an integrative, relational approach to help people make sense of difficult moments. She combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas to gently explore patterns that cause ongoing pain. Elizabeth draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment work and narrative ideas when these suit someone’s needs.

She has six years of practice supporting adults with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also helps people who are coping with grief, anger, relationship concerns, sexual and emotional abuse, and challenges linked to ADHD. Her work includes helping people process experiences of narcissistic relationships and other repeated hurtful dynamics.

Elizabeth often uses early-life exploration and inner-child material when it helps explain current reactions. Sessions are described in plain language and aim to build understanding of what keeps a problem going. She supports people to notice unhelpful patterns and to try different ways of responding in daily life.

Elizabeth has worked with carers and people dealing with illness, cancer and ageing related concerns, including caregiver stress and the impacts of life-stage change. She also addresses intimacy questions, body image, and a range of relationship difficulties that affect day-to-day living.

She offers therapy in English and Swahili and accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and to take small, practical steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety and life-change decisions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns. It can help with intimacy concerns, communication problems and repeated conflict cycles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will discuss your needs and preferences and try approaches that suit your goals. She adjusts methods over time if something does not fit, and she works with you to track what changes are helpful.

Many people find online work easier to fit into a busy life because it removes travel and can be scheduled around other commitments. The original biography indicates experience with both in-person and online therapy, so please confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, weekday sessions or appointments outside normal hours to better match daily routines.
