More about Elena

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I’m a credentialed therapist in the UK with three years of professional experience, supporting clients through challenges such as stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and issues around self-esteem, confidence, and motivation.

I believe you are the expert in your own story, and that you already have strengths that can help you navigate life’s challenges. My role as your therapist is to provide support, tools, and guidance as you take this step towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

My approach is integrative, meaning I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies to tailor our work to your unique needs. More than anything, I aim to create a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions, gain personal insights, and challenge yourself to grow.

Some of the approaches I integrate into my practice include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help reframe unhelpful thought patterns.

Person-Centred Therapy to create a supportive, collaborative relationship.

Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how past experiences shape present behaviours.

Existential Therapy to foster a sense of meaning, purpose, and personal agency.

Coaching techniques to support lasting, positive change.

If my approach resonates with you, feel free to book a session—we can explore how we might work together.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

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.
