About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki is a BACP counsellor who draws on existential ideas to help people make sense of painful life moments. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, anger and low self-esteem. Elizabeth also supports people with ADHD concerns and those recovering from abuse.
Her style is relational and person-centred. Sessions aim to create a space where clients can talk about what matters to them and notice choices available in difficult situations.
Background and approach
She often uses conversations that connect feelings to life meaning, values and commitments. Elizabeth describes her approach as integrative. She blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about early experiences and attachment.
Narrative techniques may be used to help people reframe their stories and spot repeating patterns. Practical issues such as sleeping problems, stress, career worries, parenting strain and compassion fatigue are also within her remit. She can address specific concerns like body image, communication problems, commitment and control issues, and sexual lifestyle topics including kink and BDSM.
Elizabeth has six years of experience working face to face and online. She offers sessions in English and Swahili and accepts international clients. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy is shown by the BACP credential she uses.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Elizabeth draws on Existential Therapy to help people consider life meaning, responsibility and choices when they feel stuck. This approach suits people facing major life changes, grief, or questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and to take small actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current connections; it can help with trust, communication and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone calls work well when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping a consistent thread of support.
