Elizabeth Kew, BACP

Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor who trained with a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London.

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Kew is a BACP counsellor who trained with a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London. She offers therapy online and by phone across the United Kingdom. Elizabeth draws on both talking and body-aware ways of working to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief or major life changes.

She began clinical work at Islington Mind, supporting people with complex mental health needs including personality differences and autism.

Background and approach

She has also worked with NHS staff at St. Mary’s Hospital and volunteered at The Listening Place, offering face-to-face support for people in acute distress. Elizabeth uses an integrative style that combines Client-Centred principles with psychodynamic and existential ideas.

This means sessions focus on what matters to the individual, while noticing patterns from the past and how someone makes meaning now. She brings simple mindfulness and somatic awareness into sessions when helpful. In practical terms sessions are paced to suit the person.

Elizabeth listens first, then helps people identify patterns, set goals, and try small changes between meetings. She also supports people working through relationship, intimacy, identity, addiction, eating and sleeping issues, parenting stress, and work-related strain. Her background in yoga and interest in the mind-body link inform a gentle, grounded approach.

People can expect a collaborative relationship that aims to increase self-understanding and create realistic steps toward change.

Ways of working Elizabeth names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Elizabeth often combines Client-Centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own priorities, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will check in about your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions are collaborative so plans can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use a camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, follow-up notes or people who communicate better in writing. All these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while keeping regular contact to support progress.
