about me

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). I also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy for trauma. 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

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.
