About Elaine
Elaine Doyle helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, substance and process addictions, guilt and shame, men's and women's issues, sexuality and young adult concerns. Elaine works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Elaine uses a person centred approach that keeps the client in control of each session.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and offers suggestions only when they might help. Sessions are client-led so people decide what to bring and at what pace to work through it. She has seven years of professional experience and has been in independent practice since September 2017.
Her background includes continuing professional development in substance misuse and in supporting women at risk of domestic violence. Elaine also co-authored research on problem gambling that was presented at the BACP national research conference in 2016. Therapy can be brief or longer term depending on what a person needs.
Elaine aims to build a collaborative relationship that helps people understand themselves better and manage difficult times. She does not set homework as this was not part of her training module. Sessions are available by phone, video calls, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients are not accepted; all work is conducted in English and reflects practice within the United Kingdom.

Approaches Elaine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Elaine also draws on her experience working with addictions and related problems. That practical experience helps when someone wants to talk about substance misuse, process addictions or the impact of harmful relationship patterns. Conversations stay focused on what the person wants to work on and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Finding the best approach is part of the therapy itself. Elaine will work collaboratively to decide which ways of working suit the person's needs, goals and preferences. If needed, the plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging is useful for people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and to keep conversations going between sessions when that feels helpful.
