Elizabeth Kew
Integrative counsellor focusing on meaning and wellbeing
About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Kew is a counsellor and psychotherapist with four years of clinical experience. She holds a BSc in Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Elizabeth works with people across the United Kingdom and offers sessions online, by phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She came to counselling to help people find meaning and purpose in life. Her training and early work included supporting people with complex mental health issues and identity-related concerns.
Background and approach
Elizabeth has also worked with NHS staff in a sexual health clinic and volunteered for a crisis charity offering face-to-face support. Elizabeth uses an integrative style. That means she draws on several approaches and tailors the work to each person.
She combines psychodynamic ideas about personal history with client-centred listening and practical techniques when needed. She is interested in the mind-body connection and brings elements from mindfulness and somatic practice into sessions. This can help with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and coping after trauma.
Sessions move at a pace the client feels comfortable with and focus on what the client brings to the room. Elizabeth supports people facing many challenges including grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and career concerns. She also works with body image, caregiver stress, long-term health conditions and sexual or kink-related questions.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Costs vary by region and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and online support for everyday struggles
Elizabeth blends client-centred practice with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience so you feel heard and accepted; it helps when you want space to talk through feelings and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical steps to try out between sessions; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy builds simple awareness techniques to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which can support coping after trauma or during periods of high pressure.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will work with each person to agree goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adapts the mix of listening, practical exercises and reflective work as the relationship develops and as priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls approximate face-to-face sessions, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it straightforward to fit counselling around work, travel or caregiving commitments and support continuity of care across locations.
