About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people who feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed. She works from a humanistic, integrative perspective and combines several ways of working to match what each person needs. Elaine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about painful thoughts and feelings. Sessions aim to identify the parts of life someone wants to change, then explore realistic options.
Background and approach
Elaine supports clients to set small goals and build a plan that fits their situation. Elaine often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strain, loss, abuse, and difficult life changes.
Other areas she regularly addresses include sleep and eating difficulties, panic and phobias, obsessions and compulsions, and issues around self-esteem. Her way of working draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural approaches, alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking. That mix allows practical tools for coping alongside deeper discussions about patterns and meaning.
Therapy with Elaine is collaborative and steady. She walks alongside people through the ups and downs of change. Sessions may involve trying simple techniques, reflecting on past experiences, and planning small steps to feel better.
Approaches online and how they help
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy focuses on accepting, non-judgemental listening and helps people feel heard and seen as they sort through their feelings. Cognitive behavioural work offers clear tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest a blend of methods. This collaborative planning means the work can shift as you learn and grow.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and practising new skills. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, focused homework discussion or when a shorter touchpoint fits around a busy day. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
