Elena Simona Lazar , BACP

Elena Simona Lazar is a UK-based therapist who brings six years of professional counselling experience together with more than a decade of nursing practice. Her clinical work focuses on relationship and family difficulties, anxiety and stress, addiction and trauma, low self-esteem, intimacy concerns, parenting and career challenges, and other life transitions. She draws on broad training that includes Counselling Level 4, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Sedona Method, Systemic Constellations, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Voice Dialogue to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Elena emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. Her background in nursing shaped a person-centered interest in emotional as well as physical wellbeing, and she combines that practical experience with therapeutic techniques to help clients understand recurring patterns, access inner strengths, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions may focus on gaining clarity about current experience, working compassionately with painful emotions, and learning techniques to improve daily functioning and relationships.

Elena is a BACP-credentialed practitioner - BACP refers to recognized professional standards in UK counselling - and she places clients’ needs at the centre of her work. She aims to support people in building resilience, strengthening relationships, and finding more confidence and balance in life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Elena uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, accepting space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach focuses on empathy and understanding and is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems (IFS), a model that helps people identify and work with different parts of themselves - for example protective or wounded aspects - to reduce internal conflict and increase self-leadership. IFS can be useful for trauma recovery, anxiety, and complicated emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elena works with clients to identify which methods resonate with their needs and goals, and she adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and practical. The therapist-client relationship guides decisions about which tools to use and how to pace the work.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer to meet from home. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent care while accommodating different communication styles, time zones, and accessibility needs, making it easier to keep continuity in the therapeutic process.
