More about Elena

Hi!

My name is Simona. I am credentialed in the United Kingdom with 5 years of work experience.

I have experience in helping clients with general and couple relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy related issues, grief, anger management, motivation, & self esteem. I also have experience working with confidence which is so important in our life.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My job and experience as a Nurse, working over a decade, has motivated me to want to understand people better, not only physically. Over the years I have studied Counselling Level 4, IFS, CBT, Sedona method, Systemic Constellations, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Voices Dialogue, which I use in my therapeutic approach with my clients, being adjusted to everyone's needs.

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to go through certain blockages alone, like depression, anxiety, addictions, problems at work or in the family, health or financial problems, relationship issues or low self-confidence.

I am passionate about supporting people to lead a better life and find their inner strength.

What do you get during the sessions?

- clarity about what you experience and what you may feel

- we explore and work together painful emotions in a gentle and compassionate way

- a confidential, safe and accepting space where you can feel free to explore anything you might experience

- accessing the energy of true Self

- different techniques that improve the quality of life

- understanding emotions and certain situations that can be repeated in your life

- how to improve your family, couple relationships or in general

- how to create a better relationship with yourself

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Please get in touch with any question you may have, I am here to support you! I always put clients and their own needs at the heart of my work.

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.
