Meet Elaine
Integrative psychotherapist, counsellor, meditation teacher and wellness facilitator
I am a registered integrative therapist, with an MA in Humanistic and Integrative psychotherapy and counselling. As a trained mental health professional, I work with a range of areas including, but not exclusively : anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationships, self confidence, change of career, expat challenges, feeling lost and finding purpose.
I see my role as a psychotherapist to provide guidance and support to help individuals explore obstacles that may be preventing them from moving forward in their lives. I deliver in person and online therapy sessions via zoom offering both short term and longer term sessions. Please use the contact section of this website to schedule an introductory session.
“In safe spaces we can find a sense of peace, healing and growth”
My Approach
I offer a compassionate, empathetic, and non judgemental space to explore aspects of your life that may be causing challenge and discontent for you. My work is informed by a deep curiosity around how our earlier life, and any distress we encountered then can have an effect on our present day living, in terms of how we think and feel and in the relationships we have.
Introspection and self awareness are encouraged in our sessions, in a holding environment that allows us to gain insight into patterns of behaviour which might be preventing us from leading satisfying lives.
My integrative training allows me to draw from various modalities and my style adapts based on the needs of the client, where the primary focus is on helping us find strength, recovery and growth. I work mainly from a psychodynamic and humanistic perspective, where I blend elements of mindful awareness, somatic therapy, CBT and trauma informed therapy.
The importance and value of the therapeutic relationship is central to the my clinical practice as it holds huge potential for transformation and growth. I endeavour to create a safe, empathetic and confidential space to explore the experiences and challenges that may be causing pain and distress.
