About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor who trained with a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London. She blends practical listening with a focus on how the body and mind connect. Elizabeth draws on a background in yoga and somatics to inform gentle, grounded sessions that prioritise the client’s immediate needs and pace.
Elizabeth has four years of work experience in counselling and psychotherapy. Early roles included work at Islington Mind and as an associate counsellor at St. Mary’s Hospital, where she provided in-person support to staff in a sexual health clinic. She has also volunteered at The Listening Place, offering face-to-face support to people in acute distress.
Her approach is integrative and person-centred. She combines psychodynamic, existential and humanistic ideas with techniques from mindfulness and cognitive behavioural thinking when those tools help. Elizabeth focuses on what each person brings to a session and adapts the work to suit their goals and comfort level.
She regularly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. Her practice also includes work around relationship and intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, ADHD, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, career questions and caregiver stress.
Sessions aim to identify patterns, themes and unhelpful cycles. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to build clearer choices and a sense of meaning. People are supported to try practical steps between sessions when helpful, and to reflect on progress over time.
Approaches that guide online work and personal change
Elizabeth commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and goals emerge from their priorities. This approach helps when someone wants to feel heard and understood before trying practical steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT-style work can be useful for anxiety, mood shifts, sleep and stress management because it focuses on clear, testable changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elizabeth will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on what the person wants and how they respond. This means sessions can change over time as needs and goals shift.
For practical online arrangements, please confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, breathing work and CBT homework between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
