About Elaine
Elaine Fyffe is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and depression. She speaks English and does not accept international clients.
Elaine practises from a humanistic, person-centred perspective. She treats people as the authors of their own stories and follows their priorities in session. In practical terms this means listening closely, reflecting what matters most to the client, and helping people notice their own strengths as they consider change.
In sessions she offers steadiness and straightforward discussion. People often bring worries about parenting and family problems, or the impact of loss and grief. Others want help with addictive patterns, low mood or anxiety that gets in the way of everyday life. Elaine aims to keep the conversation clear and manageable, breaking big problems into small steps.
Her approach tends to focus on improving communication, reducing shame and self-blame, and strengthening coping strategies. She will work with clients on attachment concerns, body image and workplace stress where these are relevant. Practical tasks and small experiments between sessions may be suggested to test what helps.
Elaine’s practice is aimed at adults who want a calm, direct way to address problems at home and at work.

How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Elaine uses humanistic and person-centred methods in her work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says, helping people notice their own strengths and decide on next steps. This approach often helps when someone is struggling with parenting stress, grief or low mood because it keeps the conversation focused on the client's priorities.She also draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping. These techniques can include simple behavioural strategies to manage mood and anxiety, and communication work to lessen conflict and improve connection with others. Such approaches are practical and task-focused when needed, while still centring the client's experience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and agree a way forward based on the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around family or work commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and offer a way to meet without travelling. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and practical tasks to suit an online setting.
