About Elle
Elle Fair works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and life changes using client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience in the field.
She helps people talk through current problems and past issues that continue to affect their day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on finding practical ways to cope. Elle encourages attention to emotions and to the needs behind them, rather than pushing feelings away.
Her practice includes support for people managing grief, trauma and abuse, and those facing career pressures or difficult transitions. She also works with people exploring ADHD-related concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and challenges around intimacy such as jealousy or infidelity.
Elle pays particular attention to attachment and abandonment issues, blended family tensions, and communication problems. She offers one-to-one work for relationship problems rather than couple sessions, and can support parents and caregivers dealing with related stress and role strain.
Therapeutic work often combines a client-centred focus on the person's experience with practical cognitive behavioural strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions also aim to build self-connection, self-acceptance and clearer choices about how to respond in difficult situations.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to increase self-connection and acceptance by listening closely and reflecting what is said. This approach can help when someone feels unsure of their feelings or needs stronger self-trust.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for developing new coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elle will discuss goals and preferences and help choose whether to emphasise talking, emotional exploration or practical CBT techniques. This is done together so the plan reflects the person's needs and what feels manageable.
If you prefer online sessions, check the current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It may also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video if that helps, or fewer interruptions from travel, depending on the format offered.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
