More about Elena

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am credentialed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. As your therapist, I offer support, tools and guidance as you take this courageous journey towards a more fulfilling and happier life.

My approach is integrative, which means I am trained in a range of evidence-based approaches. Therefore I can bring different perspectives and tools to the conversation, depending on what is most relevant for you. My main priority is to create a genuine space where you can talk freely, gain personal insights and challenge yourself to grow.

Some of the approaches integrated into my practice are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to reframe unhelpful patterns of thinking, a Person-centred approach to create a non-judgemental and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how your early experiences influence current ways of relating and behaving and Existential Therapy to help you accept what is outside your control and foster a sense of agency, meaning and purpose in life.
Additionally, I draw on a coaching approach to support clients to create lasting and inspiring changes in their lives.

If you like the sound of my approach, you can book one of the sessions in my schedule and we can explore how we could 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.
