About Elizabeth Kew
Elizabeth Kew (Lizzie) is a BACP registered integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom, offering support in person, online, and by phone. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she works in line with the BACP ethical framework and brings a flexible, individualised style that recognises that no single approach suits everyone.
Elizabeth’s path into therapy was shaped by a commitment to self-discovery, meaning, and purpose. She graduated with a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London, a BACP-accredited degree, and her undergraduate research examined her personal experiences following the use of psilocybin and how this influenced her counselling journey.
Her clinical experience includes providing tailored, integrative face-to-face counselling at Islington Mind, where she worked with complex psychological, emotional, and mental health concerns, including personality disorders, schizophrenia, and autism, as well as identity and LGBTQIA+ related themes. She has also worked as an associate counsellor at St. Mary's Hospital, offering in person therapy to NHS staff in a sexual health clinic setting.
Before entering counselling and psychotherapy practice, Elizabeth volunteered with The Listening Place, supporting people who felt that life was no longer worth living. She also has a background in yoga teaching and maintains a strong interest in somatics and the mind-body connection. Her integrative approach blends psychodynamic, existential, and humanistic theory and practice, shaped around what each person brings to the session and explored at a pace that feels appropriate and effective. She listens carefully to each client’s story, collaborates on goals, and helps identify patterns and themes to support deeper understanding and meaningful change.

Integrative Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Elizabeth Kew is an integrative therapist who draws on multiple therapeutic approaches, adapting the work to what each person wants to explore and change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can speak openly, clarify what matters to them, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable. This can be especially helpful when life feels overwhelming, uncertain, or emotionally heavy.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence one another. It can help clients notice unhelpful patterns and experiment with new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day challenges. Psychodynamic Therapy adds depth by exploring how earlier experiences and recurring relationship patterns may still be affecting the present, supporting greater self-understanding over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elizabeth works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting the focus as therapy develops.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, health needs, caring responsibilities, or travel, while still keeping consistent support in place.
