Hi to you and thank you if you are taking the time to look through my profile. My name is Elaine, I am a licensed therapist in the UK with over 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients of any age and from various backgrounds, all of whom share the same thing, they are struggling and hope for change. I work with individuals and with couples, I also offer Clinical Supervision as part of my practice. I have helped clients in many ways, such as finding coping mechanisms to help deal with stress and anxiety, help overcoming relationship issues, fears and worries, help healing from trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence difficulties, and even wanting to just make sense of their world. I work alongside my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. Please feel free to message me with any query you may have, or simply just take a look at my schedule and book yourself straight in. I will aim to respond to you within the same day. Thank you once again and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

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.

Overall rating:
Elaine was extremely understanding and helpful with my concerns. I hope to have her as a therapist again sometime ❤
Elaine is a great listener, and a warm personality. She is not afraid to ask the hard questions, and is always supportive.
I talk with Elaine via zoom, and it always pleases me to see her calm and attentive face when we sign on, to laugh together when the humor clicks, and to see how she has reflected on, acknowledged and repositioned perspectives from earlier contexts and coversations. She listens and really hears me. She's very good at what she does.
Using betterhelp was my first time trying out therapy and Elaine was more than comforting and reassuring and with little effort, i was able to open up and speak about so many insecurities and we always work with small exercises to help me with people around me to better express myself. 100% recommend this experience
She’s been patient and a good ear and support
Very good.
