About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Kinsey-James is a BACP counsellor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She helps people who are struggling with relationships, grief, self‑esteem, addictions and life changes. Her approach is warm and steady and she aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone feeling overwhelmed.

Elizabeth uses a relational, person-centred stance in the room. That means she focuses on building a trusting connection and listens without judgment.

Background and approach

From there she draws on different methods to meet whatever a person brings to sessions in that moment. One strand of her work borrows from psychodynamic ideas. She gently looks at how past experiences and childhood patterns can shape current feelings and behaviours.

This can help people see repeating patterns and where change might begin. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people learn practical ways to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT techniques can be useful for day-to-day problems like sleep, worry and low mood.

Elizabeth trained in London and has four years of professional experience working across online services, clinics and independent practice. She offers video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

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.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Elizabeth works from a person-centred perspective that prioritises a strong, trusting relationship. This approach means the therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person, which can help people feel heard and gradually able to talk about difficult issues.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to introduce practical steps for coping. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce worry, improve sleep and lift mood.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time to suit changing needs.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact from a distance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for regular check-ins, brief reflections and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
