Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Elaine offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life events.

She draws on several therapy styles to shape sessions around each person’s needs. Sessions focus on identifying what someone wants to change, then working out practical steps together. Elaine helps people set goals and makes a clear plan to move forward.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a warm, straightforward style. Conversations may look at past experiences and present patterns, and involve learning new coping skills. Sessions can include gentle reflection, practical exercises, and goal-focused tasks.

Elaine has supported people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and loss, addictions and relationship issues. She also works with concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career questions. Additional focuses include attachment and communication problems, infidelity, domestic violence, and compulsive behaviours.

Her approach blends client-centred listening with cognitive work and psychodynamic reflection. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used when helpful. The aim is to help people uncover what matters to them and build manageable steps toward change.

How Elaine’s approaches work online and in sessions

Elaine uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try out different ways of responding. This approach is practical and often includes small tasks between sessions to change thinking patterns and reduce symptoms such as panic or low mood.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. This helps people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and how to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy is another key part of her work and provides a respectful, non-judgemental framework that helps people explore their feelings at their own pace.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Elaine will discuss different methods and agree a plan based on what you need, your goals and your preferences. That collaborative planning can be reviewed as things change.

Online formats support flexible access to therapy. Video calls let conversations feel close to a face-to-face session. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or suit people who do not want to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, written exchanges that can fit around work or caring commitments. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to try therapy in a way that fits everyday life.
