Elaine Fyffe is a humanistic person centred counsellor with 14 years of experience. She believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, non-judgemental presence to sessions. Elaine aims to help people feel heard and understood as they make changes in their lives.

She works with stress and anxiety and supports people dealing with addictions and grief. Elaine also helps those struggling with depression and offers support around parenting pressures.

Background and approach

Her practice includes related concerns such as attachment difficulties, body image, cancer-related distress, codependency and communication problems. Elaine uses a person centred approach that centres on the client’s experience. Sessions focus on listening, exploring feelings and building on strengths.

The approach is practical and paced to what each person needs in the moment. Over 14 years she has worked with a wide range of life challenges, including guilt and shame, isolation and questions of life purpose. She also supports people facing post-traumatic stress, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and workplace issues.

Elaine attends to women’s issues and helps clients work through forgiveness and family-related tensions. People can expect a calm, patient counsellor who encourages self-compassion and clearer choices. Elaine aims to empower clients to take small, sustainable steps forward.

She values honest conversation and steady support throughout the journey.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Elaine practices person centred counselling and humanistic approaches that focus on the person rather than labels. A person centred approach means the counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is heard and helps the client find their own solutions; this is useful for stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. The humanistic approach emphasises each person’s strengths and capacity for growth, which can help with depression, self-worth and life purpose questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That process often begins with a few sessions to get a sense of what helps and then adapts as things change over time.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
