About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years of practice who works with people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She holds BACP membership, and she aims to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak about what feels hard. Elaine centres conversations on what each person brings and what they want to change.
Elaine uses a blend of humanistic and integrative approaches tailored to individual needs. She will listen to the problem and help identify goals. Together with the client she explores options and builds a clear plan to move forward.
Sessions often focus on understanding patterns in relationships, attachment and communication. Elaine helps people dealing with grief, trauma, compulsions, panic and mood concerns to name a few. She also supports those tackling issues around parenting, career strain, addictions and life transitions.
Her work combines talking therapies with practical tools from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches. The aim is to address immediate symptoms while exploring deeper reasons behind them. Clients can expect honest, compassionate guidance and gentle challenge when needed.
Elaine sees therapy as a collaborative process. She describes the work as sometimes uncomfortable but ultimately aimed at growth and change. If someone is looking for a counsellor who will walk alongside them and help map out realistic next steps, Elaine offers that steady partnership.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elaine draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationship patterns shape present feelings and reactions, which can help with intimacy, abandonment and relationship struggles. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours, which is useful for anxiety, panic and mood concerns. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Elaine will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, remove travel time and allow people to speak from familiar surroundings. Some formats need less technology or make video optional, which can help when a brief check-in or a quieter conversation is the priority. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, please confirm the exact options available before booking. Working remotely still allows for goal-setting, practical skill-building and reflective conversation, and many people find these elements transfer well to online sessions.Areas of expertise
