About Elaine
Elaine works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and life changes, and she has a particular interest in relationship dynamics. She helps clients identify patterns, understand attachment responses, and develop self-awareness so they can change unhelpful behaviours and attract healthier relationships. Personal growth is another focus - Elaine supports people in discovering or rediscovering their authentic selves to live more wholehearted lives.
She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body that guides ethical practice in the UK, and her model of care is grounded in that framework. Elaine is flexible to work short- or long-term with adults aged 18 and over, maintains ongoing professional development and supervision, and also works as a clinical supervisor and counselling tutor. She offers therapy in English and Portuguese and is accepting international clients.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where avoidance gets in the way of living meaningfully. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses; it supports people in understanding attachment styles and building more secure, connected ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaboration, giving space for a person to explore their experience and find their own solutions, often helping with self-esteem, identity, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Elaine works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the work over time as progress and priorities evolve. This shared decision-making helps ensure the approach feels useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can deliver effective therapeutic work through these formats while tailoring timing and pace to each person’s life.
