About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years' experience who blends several humanistic and evidence-informed approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP, and works with people facing a wide range of emotional challenges. Elaine aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space so clients can talk about what matters to them.
Elaine listens closely to help people identify areas they want to change.
Background and approach
She works with each person to set practical goals and to build a plan they can follow between sessions. Sessions can involve looking at patterns from the past, learning new coping skills, or trying simple exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Her practice covers many concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with addictions, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, communication problems, domestic violence, divorce and separation, infidelity and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Elaine uses a mix of Attachment-Based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic reflection. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used when helpful to manage distress and build small, steady changes. The aim is practical progress alongside understanding what led to current difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and Elaine accepts international clients. People can expect an approachable, steady presence who will walk alongside them as they work through painful emotions and make changes in their life.

Online support
Client-Centred counselling emphasises empathic listening and warmth. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of their experience.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It often includes short exercises and homework that fit well with video or messaging formats for regular check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss what feels useful and adapt techniques to match each person's goals and preferences. The choice of methods is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - give flexibility for different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and practising new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit brief reflections, written exercises and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
