More about Elena

  • 22 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

With over 22 years of experience as a Practitioner Psychologist and Psychotherapist in the UK and Romania, and being registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the British Psychological Society, the College of Psychologists of Romania, the Romanian Institute of Integrative Psychotherapy, and the Romanian Federation of Psychotherapy, I have honed my skills and developed a profound sense of empathy. This has enabled me to build enduring relationships with patients and colleagues from diverse backgrounds. My extensive expertise in providing effective psychological and therapeutic services has been instrumental in fostering these connections.

I firmly believe that the foundation of positive therapeutic outcomes lies in establishing a supportive and trusting relationship with each individual. To this end, I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and non-judgmental environment that encourages open and honest communication. My commitment to patient care drives me to go above and beyond to ensure that each person receives the attention and support they need to thrive.

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.
