Elizabeth Gichuki
Experienced relational therapist focused on relationships and trauma
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gichuki uses relational and integrative approaches to help people untangle painful patterns and find clearer ways forward. She draws on person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters most to them. She has six years of clinical experience and holds BACP registration, which is noted as a professional credential.
Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief and stress, alongside relationship and intimacy-related issues and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Elizabeth also offers support around trauma and abuse, including survivors of physical, sexual and emotional harm, and people affected by narcissistic relationships. Additional areas she attends to include ADHD, anger, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue, as well as a broader list of life challenges such as career change, parenting strain and body image.
She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Existential and Narrative approaches to suit each person’s needs. That mix allows conversations about early experiences, values, meaning and present-day choices, depending on what a person brings. Sessions are available in English and Swahili and can be held online using video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
International clients are accepted and practical arrangements can be discussed when matching begins.

How specific approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps. Online ACT sessions often include simple exercises and practical actions to try between meetings, which suit video or messaging formats.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns that began in early relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach uses reflective conversation to identify predictable reactions and try new ways of relating during everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and current difficulties and then suggest one or a blend of methods. That collaborative process can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better match what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow more direct conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel and different time zones, while still keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
