About Elaine
Elaine Bennett is a counsellor with four years' experience helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected. She works with individuals facing relationship pain, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Elaine holds BACP registration, which shows she practises within agreed professional standards.
Elaine offers a calm, straightforward way of working. Sessions focus on what matters now and what the person wants to change. She listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings so they can choose different ways of living.
Background and approach
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, parenting stresses and family problems. Elaine also supports people with body image, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and the ripple effects of separation or domestic violence. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting space where people lead the pace and content of sessions.
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and find practical steps forward. These approaches are adapted to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate.
Conversations will explore patterns, past influences and small changes that can make daily life easier. Elaine encourages self-compassion and steady progress rather than quick fixes. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.
Elaine communicates Monday to Friday and will reply to messages as soon as she can.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and small, achievable steps. It helps people who want clear actions to reduce stress, improve communication or make changes in relationships and daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading expressions, phone sessions suit quicker check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy days and allow shorter, flexible exchanges. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and mobility needs while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
