About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice. She completed a BSc in Counselling at the University of East London and now offers therapeutic support across a range of concerns. Elizabeth aims to help people find more meaning, clearer choices and a steadier sense of self.
She began training out of a personal search for self-discovery and purpose. Her degree included research into her own experiences with psilocybin and how that influenced her counselling journey. That study informs a thoughtful, reflective style in sessions.
Early clinical work included roles at Islington Mind where she supported people facing complex mental health issues, including personality differences and autism. She also provided in-person therapy to NHS sexual health clinic staff at St Mary’s Hospital, helping colleagues manage the stresses of their roles.
Elizabeth has volunteered at The Listening Place, offering face-to-face support to people in acute distress. She combines that experience with a background in yoga and an interest in somatics, so the body-mind connection often appears in her work.
Her approach is integrative and flexible. She draws on psychodynamic, existential and humanistic ideas and adapts these to what each person brings to a session. Elizabeth listens, looks for patterns and works at a pace that suits the person in front of her.
People seek her help for many issues, including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, relationship concerns, codependency and ADHD. She aims to create a space where people can explore their story and build new ways of coping and moving forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of every session. The counsellor offers listening, empathy and reflection, and helps people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness, which can aid coping with overwhelming emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will discuss your goals and preferences, try different ways of working and adapt as therapy progresses. The fit between your needs and the methods used is reviewed together, so you shape the plan as much as the counsellor does.
If you plan to try online work, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or study commitments and can reduce travel time. Some formats suit short check-ins or times when you prefer not to be on camera, while others are better for longer conversations. A clear discussion before the first session helps ensure the practical setup matches your daily life and needs.
