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, 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.
