Recent reviews
In regards to Elaine we’re still getting to know each other but first impressions is she has a calming voice and presence, and she’s happy to explain things I may not understand. It’s nice to talk to someone who’s not connected to your life and Elaine does this well.
More about Elaine
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
My name is Elaine and I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor who draws from a range of counselling techniques and traditions in order to ensure that my clients benefit from an approach that is designed to meet their individual needs.
I am fully insured and as a member of the BACP, I abide by its code of ethics. If you are using my service for the first time you can expect to find a confidential, safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore any thoughts or feelings that have been causing you emotional pain, confusion or difficulty.
I work closely with each of my clients and will support them in the task of identifying areas of their lives that they would like to change. Together we then explore options and choices. I support my clients to formulate goals and decide on a therapeutic plan to guide them on their journey to greater wellbeing. I will walk alongside you through your anxiety, depression or low moods; together we will explore the cause and get to the root of the problem.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BEING A COUNSELLOR
My job as a Counsellor has afforded me the honour and privilege to meet and help so many interesting and wonderful people. Over the years I have seen so many people transform themselves and their lives through self-discovery. To be part of that transformation is priceless to say the least. The work we will do in therapy will not be easy, we will cry, we will laugh and there will be discomfort, but through the discomfort will come growth and change
Approaches
My counselling approach is mainly influenced by the following:
Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychoanalysis, Solution Focused Approaches, Gestalt, Creative Therapy and Transactional Analysis

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

good listener, structured, good recommendations to get familiar with therapy techniques
Elaine identified my root causes of trauma and she helped to me to identify them, how it has affected my growing up . She worked together with me to dealing my inner childhood that been stuck for more than thirty years. I look forward to having session as it feels like I can express myself freely without getting judged.
I've been in therapy before but this is the first time I feel that my therapist takes an active approach to help me heal and move past my trauma.
I feel understood, accepted and she is a great listener
Elaine is a very caring and soft person. She was very kind to me and offered me a safe space to express myself and helped me manage my emotions and better understand them. She also gave me tips on how to handle my problems and after trying them out I realized that they are very relieving! I would definitely recommend Elaine to anyone who wants to begin therapy!
Very kind person. Listen and comes with good exercises and ”homework”. Also help to understand why thing are as they are. I recommend her strongly
She is patient and determined to find the way to help you.
Elaine goes above and beyond with her service and always checks in on me.
Elaine is such a good listener and therepist. She always finds the right words to make one feel better. After every session, I feel more free, more light and more content. I highly recommend Elaine.
I find Elaine very calm and comforting. She is very supportive and gives good advice.
Great help
