About me
Hello, my name is Elizabeth/Lizzie (She/Her)
https://www.elizabethkewtherapy.co.uk/
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, working in-person (Leyton, E10) online and over the phone across the UK and internationally. I currently have availabilty on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.
My personal experience with therapy revealed to me the profound benefits of feeling truly seen, heard, and understood, and how transformative that can be. I aim to provide this same support to you and would be honoured to be a part of your journey.
Personal therapy can be challenging and revealing, talking about experiences that cause pain, sadness or embarrassment can be difficult. I believe that if you feel listened to without fear of being judged, working in a trusted relationship can encourage real long-lasting change.
If you're looking to build resilience to navigate life’s challenges or are curious about therapy and exploring what you might learn about yourself, this could be a great opportunity to find out more.
I believe that one size does not fit all and so my approach offers flexibility to suit your individual needs. We will work collaboratively to identify links, patterns and themes to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself whilst also working towards a more meaningful and purposeful future with more choice a possibility for personal growth and change.
My therapeutic approach can be described as integrative, blending a holistic approach with Psychodynamic, Existential, Humanistic theory and practice that best support your needs. Anything that you choose to bring is what will be explored, at a pace that is both appropriate and effective for your needs. I will listen to your unique story, explore what you want to gain from therapy and tailor my approach to meet you where you are at.
I offer open-ended and short and long-term therapy in person, online, over the phone and message based across the UK and internationally.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work in-line with the BACP ethical framework.
To find self-discovery, meaning, and purpose, I began my journey to become a therapist. I graduated with a BSc in Counselling at the University of East London, a degree accredited by the BACP. My bachelor research explored my personal experiences following the use of psilocybin and its impact on my own counselling journey.
I began my clinical work at Islington Mind, providing tailored integrative face-to-face counselling. This involved working with complex psychological, emotional and mental health issues such as those with personality disorders, schizophrenia and autism. Other areas that were often explored involved identity and LGBTQIA+ related concerns as well as anxiety and depression.
I have experience as an associate counsellor at St. Marys hospital, offering in person therapy for the NHS staff working in the sexual health clinic which offers immediate testing, treatment and advice for STI’s.
Prior to my counselling and psychotherapy practice, I volunteered at The Listening Place, a charity that offers face-to-face support for those who feel life is no longer worth living.
I have a background in yoga teaching with a keen interest in somatic and the mind/body connection. I have a holistic approach alongside using various theory and practice from psychodynamic, existential and person centred therapy.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
