About
Elizabeth Kew is a BACP registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who practises in person, online and by phone across the United Kingdom. She holds a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London, a degree accredited by BACP, and her undergraduate research explored the personal impact of psilocybin on her counselling journey. Her training and registration are central to how she frames her clinical work.
Her clinical background includes roles at Islington Mind, where she provided tailored integrative counselling for complex psychological and mental health presentations, and as an associate counsellor at St. Mary's Hospital supporting NHS staff in the sexual health clinic. She also volunteered at The Listening Place, offering face-to-face support to people experiencing acute crisis. These settings informed her practice with a range of issues, including identity and LGBTQIA+ concerns.
Elizabeth brings a holistic, integrative approach influenced by psychodynamic, existential and humanistic theories, and she integrates client-centered, cognitive behavioural and mindfulness methods as appropriate. With a background in yoga and an interest in somatic connections, she aims to work collaboratively, exploring themes at a pace suited to each person and tailoring interventions to the material brought into sessions.

Remote and blended therapeutic options
Elizabeth offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, as well as in-person work across the United Kingdom. These options are used to match practical needs and personal preference so that sessions can proceed in a way that fits each individual's life and access requirements.
She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify and work with thinking and behaviour patterns in a structured way. Mindfulness methods are used to cultivate present-moment awareness and manage stress or distress that arises between and during sessions. Elizabeth also uses psychodynamic and existential ideas to explore meaning, recurring themes, and relational patterns that emerge over time.
People who prefer a collaborative, exploratory approach may find a good fit with her style. She tailors techniques and pacing to what the person brings, combining structured tools and reflective exploration. Remote formats are integrated with these approaches so that learning, practice, and reflection can continue between meetings.
