About Elaine

Elaine Fyffe works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and depression using a humanistic person-centred way of working. She describes the person as the expert in their own story and draws on clients' strengths to help them move forward. Elaine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of experience.

Elaine practices primarily from a humanistic person-centred stance. That means sessions focus on the client's own perspective and what feels important to them. She listens without judgement and reflects the client's thoughts and feelings back to help them make sense of their experience.

Her experience includes supporting people through grief and loss, working with addictive behaviours, and helping with anxiety and depression. She can also help with parenting concerns and issues around attachment, communication and workplace stress. Elaine notes particular experience with body image, codependency, isolation, life purpose and women's issues.

Sessions aim to build on what the client already knows about themselves. Elaine encourages exploration of difficult feelings and practical ways to cope with day-to-day challenges. She works at a steady pace so people can set and review small, realistic changes.

Elaine offers counselling in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She is listed with the BACP and brings fourteen years of professional work in counselling to her practice.

How Elaine uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling

Elaine works from a humanistic person-centred stance, which centres on listening, reflecting and following the client's priorities. This approach helps with emotional processing, relationship issues and finding practical ways to manage everyday stress.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support coping with anxiety, depression and addictive behaviours. These techniques include structured ways to notice thoughts and feelings and develop new coping responses that reduce harmful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is often part of early work together. Elaine will discuss different methods and help decide what fits best with the client's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and reducing travel time.
