About Elaine

Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years of practice who draws on Humanistic and integrative approaches. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and works with people who want to make sense of difficult emotions or life events. Elaine aims to offer a respectful, non-judgemental space for honest conversation.

She helps people identify the parts of life they want to change and then explores practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on talking through anxieties, low mood, grief or relationship pain and finding clearer choices. Elaine uses a mix of methods so conversations match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In therapy she will work collaboratively to set goals and agree a simple plan to follow.

That plan might include looking at thinking patterns, exploring past attachment experiences, or trying brief exercises to reduce unhelpful habits. The emphasis is on small, steady change rather than rushed fixes. Elaine has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including stress, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue.

She also works with issues such as abandonment, infidelity, OCD symptoms, panic attacks and career uncertainty. Her style is compassionate but direct. Conversations can be emotional and occasionally uncomfortable, and Elaine sees that as part of change.

She encourages curiosity about feelings and practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how to build more stable connections. Client-centred therapy centres the person's own experience and pace, offering a listening space that helps people find their own answers and build self-trust. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing an approach is part of the therapy process. Elaine will discuss your goals and preferences and make suggestions together. She works collaboratively so the plan can change as you learn what helps and what does not.

Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
