About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Swahili, and she sees both local and international clients.
Elizabeth uses an integrative, relational approach that draws on client-centred ideas and psychodynamic thinking. She may look at how early experiences shape current feelings and reactions. That can include exploring attachment patterns and parts of the self that still feel hurt or overlooked.
In practical terms she helps people identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day life. That might mean talking through triggers for anger, patterns in relationships, or ways grief and loss make ordinary tasks harder. She aims to help people build more understanding of their own responses and the choices available to them.
Her work includes supporting people affected by trauma and abuse, survivors of difficult relationships, and those coping with bereavement. She also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress where these affect mood and functioning.
Elizabeth uses a range of therapeutic tools and perspectives rather than a single method. If a person wants to explore how past experiences shape present behaviour, she can bring psychodynamic ideas into the conversations. If the focus is on values and action, she can work from acceptance and commitment approaches.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Elizabeth often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions that align with those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in current connections and emotional responses, which can help when anger or trust issues recur.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will collaborate with the client to try approaches that fit their needs. That means sessions can focus on practical steps one week and on exploring early patterns another time.
