About Eleni
Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor who draws on six years of practice to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related difficulties. She combines straightforward talk with practical techniques so clients can make changes that fit their everyday life. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect.
Eleni trained in psychology at the University of Derby where she completed a BSc (Honours) in Psychology.
Background and approach
She has since worked with people facing bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship problems, anger and addiction issues. That range has shaped a flexible approach to common life challenges. Her work follows a person-centred way of working, which means she listens carefully and builds therapy around each person's needs.
She also uses mindfulness practices to help with strong emotions and somatic techniques that pay attention to how the body holds stress. Eleni describes herself as trauma-informed and brings trauma-focused ideas when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions tend to be collaborative; she helps clients notice patterns, practise new responses and build greater self-compassion.
People who prefer a calm, respectful style may find her approach helpful. She focuses on practical steps as well as understanding, so clients leave with clear actions as well as new perspectives.

Approaches Eleni 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
Eleni will work together with each person to find the most suitable approach. She asks about goals, previous experience and what feels most comfortable, and then adjusts techniques over time. Finding the right mix is treated as a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel, and let people choose the format that helps them engage best.
