about me

staff photo_edited.jpg

My name is Elizabeth Kinsey-James and I am a BACP registered counsellor and psychotherapist.

 

My style is warm and gentle, curious and kind. I prioritise empathy, warmth, and safety.

 

I offer a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the power of compassionate therapy to promote healing and personal growth.​​

 

I have many years of experience working in therapy clinics and counselling services in London, and in private practice. I now work in High Wycombe, at the Chiltern Clinic.

​​​My style is relational and integrative, which means I am concerned with building a strong relationship with my client, and use various therapeutic approaches depending on what is most suitable at the time. My main approaches are a blend of person-centred, with elements of psychodynamic and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Please see my practice page for more detail.

​

I trained as a psychotherapist and counsellor in London, at the University of Roehampton. Prior to qualifying, I worked in education supporting students with life issues. I now live and work in High Wycombe.

​

I have helped my clients with a range of issues, such as

  • Grief and loss

  • Relationships and family

  • Past trauma

  • Identity issues

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Stress and burn out

  • Addiction

​

​I am registered with the BACP (register number 398239) and abide by their ethical framework. I'm fully insured to practice.​ I regularly undertake continual professional development training to ensure I am working as safely and effectively as possible. 

​​

Inclusivity is very important to me and all people are welcome to my practice. I am neurodiversity affirmative and LGBTQIA+ affirmative.

​

As part of my ongoing professional training, I am starting to integrate Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) into my practice.  We can discuss how you'd like to work together in our initial conversation.​​​
