About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She describes her work as Humanistic and integrative, drawing on a range of counselling techniques to meet individual needs. Elaine supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar difficulties, and coping with life changes.
Elaine aims to help people notice what they want to change, and then to look at practical options. She uses conversational sessions to identify goals and agree a plan. Some sessions focus on understanding how past relationships shape current patterns, while others use more direct strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her approach mixes client-centred listening with mindful exercises and cognitive techniques. This means people can bring their experience and pace, while also trying practical steps between sessions. She may include reflective discussion about early attachment and unconscious patterns when that helps make sense of present problems.
Sessions are described as attentive and straightforward. Elaine encourages working through difficult feelings such as guilt, shame or abandonment, and will support people as they explore recovery from trauma, domestic violence and separation. She also offers coaching-style support for career questions and life purpose.
Elaine works in English and welcomes people from outside the UK. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial appointment. The website subscription model is used for sessions and can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches available for online work
Elaine draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape present feelings and behaviour; this can help when people struggle with abandonment, intimacy or repeating relationship problems. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on active listening and helping people find their own direction by discussing what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete steps to change patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will agree which methods to try. The choice of approach can change over time as goals evolve, and this is treated as a collaborative process between client and counsellor.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or other commitments, and may allow shorter check-ins when days are busy or quieter conversations when longer travel is difficult. Talk with Elaine about what will best suit your schedule and daily life.
