More about Elaine

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hello - I'm Elaine. I've been a therapist for 11 years. I'm an integrative practitioner, which means I will work alongside you to find an approach that makes sense to you. Each course of therapy I deliver is unique, just as everyone I am privileged enough to work with is unique.

Over the course of my career, I have developed a special interest in working with clients who have experienced trauma. You may not consider yourself to have experienced trauma, but if you have ever endured a situation in which you felt helpless or powerless, you have. Bereavement, loss, relationship breakdown, attachment difficulties, abuse, injury, illness, panic, anxiety, pervasive low mood...all of these things can be traumatic in the human experience.

I am licensed to practice therapy in the UK and registered with the BACP. I offer a safe space in which you can expect to be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes great courage. I would be delighted to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
