Elizabeth Kew, BACP

Elizabeth Kew is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who offers in-person, online and phone sessions and accepts international clients. With four years of clinical experience, she works with people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, identity and LGBT issues, addictions, neurodiversity, and a wide range of other life challenges. She combines professional training with a compassionate, flexible style to meet each person where they are.

She earned a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London, a degree accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her undergraduate research examined her personal experiences with psilocybin and how those experiences informed her development as a counsellor. Early clinical roles included tailored, integrative face-to-face work at Islington Mind, supporting people with complex mental health presentations such as personality disorders, schizophrenia and autism, and addressing identity and LGBTQIA+ concerns. She has also worked as an associate counsellor at St. Marys Hospital supporting NHS staff in a sexual health clinic, and volunteered at The Listening Place offering face-to-face support to people in acute distress.

Elizabeth brings a background in yoga teaching and an interest in somatics and the mind-body connection into her practice. Her integrative orientation draws on psychodynamic, existential and humanistic theories and techniques, with mindfulness-informed methods when helpful. She listens to each person’s story, explores what they want to gain from therapy, and tailors an approach and pace that suit individual needs. Working collaboratively, she helps clients identify patterns and themes so they can build greater self-understanding and practical choices for personal growth and change.
