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 have an advanced DBS check and 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, and will be offering this therapy from summer of 2025.  We can discuss how you'd like to work together in our initial conversation.​​​
