About Elizabeth Kinsey-James

Elizabeth Kinsey-James is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who offers a warm, gentle, and curious therapeutic style. She prioritises empathy, kindness, and emotional safety, creating a supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement. Her relational approach places the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the work, and she adapts techniques from different therapies to suit each person's needs.

Her practice blends person-centred methods with psychodynamic exploration and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Person-centred work rests on the belief that people can grow and move toward their potential when given acceptance and understanding. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and early relationships influence present patterns. CBT focuses on practical strategies to adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to improve day-to-day functioning. Elizabeth draws on these approaches as appropriate to the client and the presenting issues.

Trained in London, she has experience working online, in clinics and counselling services, and in private practice. She believes that everyone can benefit from a therapeutic space in which to heal and develop greater self-understanding and coping skills. Elizabeth's registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Integrative Therapy Approaches for Online Care

Elizabeth Kinsey-James works online using an integrative mix of approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and a non-directive stance so clients can explore feelings and build self-understanding; it can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, often supporting people dealing with anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and mood difficulties. Psychodynamic elements look at how past experiences and attachment patterns influence current relationships and emotional reactions, which can be useful for deeper or long-standing patterns such as trauma, attachment issues, or repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. Elizabeth works with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting the balance of approaches as the work progresses. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques in this way to tailor care.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier for clients to access regular support from home, while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship and practical continuity of care.
