I'm experienced as an Integrative counsellor and I offer a safe and confidential space where together, we can explore the difficulties you're experiencing and past events in a supportive and non-judgemental way. I'm passionate about empowering clients to overcome their challenges to achieve the life they want.
I have a particular interest in working with relationships in general, narcissistic relationships, patterns we have and roles we might take in different dynamics and co-dependency. Building self- awareness to give you the power to change and attract the relationships you deserve.
Another particular area I enjoy helping my clients with is personal growth, discovering their true selves to live a free authentic life.
I offer a tailored service according to each individual need. Therefore, I work in an integrated way, which means that I am flexible to use a blend of different therapy approaches, all underpinned with a Person-Centred approach.
Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), my model of care is rooted in its ethical framework. I'm flexible to work short or long-term with adults (18+).
I'm committed to receiving supervision and continuing professional development to ensure that I provide a high quality service.
Thanks for taking the time to view my profile. If you choose to take the first step to change, I will support you with care and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

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.

Elaine is such an amazing person! Very kind and professional.
I have had many therapistis to support me im my journey coping with anxiety and depression. Elaine has made a huge difference in my communication skills, relationships and developing self compassion.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Elaine, a therapist who was nothing short of excellent. From the first session, I felt heard and understood, and Elaine consistently provided insightful and thoughtful feedback. She was able to guide me through difficult emotions and helped me develop new coping mechanisms for dealing with stress and anxiety. Her approach was tailored to my unique needs and she was always willing to adjust her techniques as needed. Additionally, Elaine made sure to create a safe and comfortable space for me to share my thoughts and feelings. I would highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective therapist.
Elaine is one of the best therapists I've ever had. I felt like she knew me so well after only the first session and she could identify and give guidance on even the simplist issues I had. I felt enormous relief after speaking with her and my self confidence and mental health improved greatly. The advice she provided proved so successful and life changing. I am so happy with her care.
I have only had 2 sessions so far with Elaine but she has been great at listening and understanding everything that’s going on. She has helped me through advice and a workbook and I look forward to continuing to work with her.
