About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a Humanistic Integrative counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and life changes. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Elaine creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is causing them emotional pain or confusion.
She works collaboratively to identify the parts of life a person wants to change. Together they set goals and agree a simple plan to guide the work. Elaine describes therapy as a shared journey where honest conversation, occasional discomfort and steady effort lead to new understanding.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard, cognitive techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns. Mindfulness and attachment-based ideas also appear when they help make sense of relationships and emotional triggers.
Elaine helps with many concerns that often overlap, including stress, panic and panic attacks, phobias, obsessions and compulsions, trauma, relationship difficulties and grief. She also supports people dealing with sleep or eating problems, addiction and career or life-purpose questions.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding how past experiences shape current feelings. Elaine encourages small, achievable changes and checks progress together as therapy continues. International clients can be seen, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Elaine's approaches translate to online counselling
Elaine commonly draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed ideas. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship so people can speak openly about painful feelings and life choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour, offers simple exercises and helps people learn different ways to respond to anxiety or panic. Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and can be useful for intimacy, abandonment worries and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and she will adapt the methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding practical steps that fit the client's life while also attending to deeper patterns.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work, reducing travel time and using quieter surroundings that suit reflection. Because the original biography does not specify session formats, please confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that focus on goal-setting, skills practice and reflective conversation, helping people manage panic, anxiety and relationship concerns while keeping therapy manageable alongside daily responsibilities.
