About Elizabeth Kew
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who offers in-person, online, and telephone sessions across the United Kingdom. She trained at the University of East London, earning a BSc in Counselling from a degree accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her undergraduate research examined her personal experiences with psilocybin and how those experiences influenced her own development as a counsellor.
Elizabeth began clinical practice at Islington Mind, providing tailored integrative counselling to people facing complex psychological and emotional challenges, including work with personality disorders, schizophrenia, autism, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. She later worked as an associate counsellor at St. Marys Hospital, delivering support to NHS staff in a sexual health clinic setting, and previously volunteered with The Listening Place, a charity offering face-to-face support to people in severe distress.
With a background in yoga teaching and an interest in somatics and the mind-body connection, Elizabeth blends humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, and other therapeutic theories to create an integrative practice. She listens to each person’s unique story, explores goals for therapy, and adapts her approach to meet clients where they are. Her style emphasises collaboration, exploration of patterns and themes, and helping people develop practical choices that support personal growth and a more meaningful direction in life.

Integrative Approaches for Online Therapy
Elizabeth draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic approaches to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals and experiences lead the pace of change - it is especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, relationship concerns, and identity exploration.
CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life stressors. Psychodynamic work explores underlying patterns, past influences, and relational themes to deepen understanding of why certain difficulties recur, supporting longer-term change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques to suit the individual.
Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without needing to travel, and they allow therapy to continue in ways that align with each person’s life and commitments.
