About Elena
Elena Harvey-Kummer helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with anger, depression and major life changes. Elena uses straightforward, practical steps to help people feel steadier and more in control.
She works from the idea that people know their own story best. Her role is to offer support, tools and a clear plan so clients can move toward goals that matter to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, achievable changes and on learning ways to manage strong feelings. Elena draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred methods and elements of psychodynamic and existential thinking.
Solution-Focused techniques and coaching ideas are used when someone wants practical, goal-oriented help. Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). That experience has included work with common life struggles such as self-worth, body image and relationship communication problems.
Work in sessions is conversational and down-to-earth. Clients can expect to talk through what matters, try new ways of coping, and review what helps. The emphasis is on finding realistic steps that fit everyday life.
Elena offers sessions in English and takes international clients. People who want to explore working with her can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits them.

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
She also draws on Solution-Focused ideas when someone wants practical steps quickly. That approach looks for small, achievable changes and builds on what is already working. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; the therapist helps clients choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection or when clients prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on useful, real-life change.
