About Elle
Elle Fair is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Her work also covers family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, ADHD and coaching-style support.
Elle welcomes adults who want to talk through painful past experiences or manage present pressures. She offers one-to-one counselling rather than relationship or family sessions. Sessions are aimed at helping people understand what they feel and why, and at finding practical ways to move forward.
Her approach is influenced by client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas. In practice that means listening first, then offering ways to notice patterns of thought and behaviour. She encourages small experiments people can try between sessions to test what helps.
Elle often works with themes that come up in family life, such as blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and problems with attachment or abandonment. She also supports people facing body image concerns, shame, guilt, impulsivity, jealousy and isolation.
Sessions are straightforward and conversational. Elle aims to help clients build self-connection, self-trust and clearer decision-making. If someone wants to explore their emotional responses and try practical steps to feel steadier, she will work with them to find approaches that fit their situation.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Elle draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel understood and can clarify their own priorities. This approach helps when someone wants to make sense of emotions linked to family roles or personal history.CBT offers practical ways to notice thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and to try small experiments to change them. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, relationship patterns and managing impulses. Together these approaches offer both reflection and action, depending on what someone needs.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit the client's situation. This is a collaborative process and may change as progress is made.
The original profile does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during shorter breaks. It can also mean simpler audio-only check-ins when bandwidth is limited or a shorter session to manage a quick review between longer appointments.
