About Eleni
Eleni Ourani is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or changing life circumstances. She also supports those facing relationship tensions, self-esteem struggles, sexual difficulties and career concerns.
Eleni takes an individualised, integrative approach. She draws on several ways of working and shapes sessions around what each person needs. Conversations aim to help people notice how they respond to thoughts and feelings and to find different ways of relating to them.
Background and approach
Her background includes approaches that look at how history affects the present. She also uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural methods to change unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients connect with personal values and build small, manageable steps forward.
Eleni makes space to work on compassion and self-understanding. That can be useful for people dealing with guilt, shame, compassion fatigue or body image worries. The work often focuses on slowing down, naming difficult emotions and practising kinder self-talk.
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. People can expect a calm, respectful tone and straightforward suggestions to try between meetings. Eleni encourages a collaborative pace so therapy grows from what matters most to the individual.
How Eleni's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises values and actions. It helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and choose small steps that reflect what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and panic. It offers practical tools to try between sessions. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences and what feels helpful in early sessions. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the pace as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy days while keeping a steady course of support.
