About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a counsellor who uses a relational and integrative approach to therapy. She has six years of clinical experience and works in the United Kingdom. Elizabeth speaks English and Swahili and offers sessions online and face to face.
She draws on several therapy styles to fit each person’s needs. Sessions often focus on patterns in relationships and early life experiences. Conversations can include exploring grief, trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulty with anger or stress.
Background and approach
Elizabeth aims to help people make sense of what feels stuck. She listens closely and supports people to name painful events and their effects. From that starting point she helps people notice alternatives and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
The work can involve gentle reflection on past memories and on how they shape current habits. It can also include practical strategies for coping with day-to-day pressures, sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress or ADHD-related challenges. People come to talk about many topics including intimacy, communication problems, codependency, caring for someone with illness, and recovery from abusive relationships.
Elizabeth accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand closeness, trust and boundaries and can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and recovery from abusive relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the approach can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video suits deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving duties and busy schedules while still working with therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
