About Elena

Elena Dinu works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of related concerns. She draws on more than 22 years of practice in the UK and Romania and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and to make small, useful changes that ease day-to-day life.

Elena practises as a psychotherapist and practitioner psychologist and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

Her career has included work across different settings, which has given her experience with addictions, eating difficulties, trauma and bereavement. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career-related stress. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship first.

Conversations are direct and compassionate. She helps people talk through practical coping strategies and ways to change unhelpful patterns over time. Elena values collaboration and tailors the way she works to each person’s needs.

She can offer short-term help for a specific issue or longer-term support for deeper concerns. Sessions are aimed at clear goals, but the pace is set by the person seeking help. She speaks English and Romanian and has practiced in both countries.

Where appropriate, she brings together what has worked in different settings to support people through transitions, grief, compassion fatigue and other life challenges.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Elena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is problem-focused work that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and then試 try alternative actions to reduce anxiety, improve mood or manage cravings. Another approach emphasises trauma-informed support, helping people process difficult events at a pace they can manage while learning coping skills for flashbacks, sleep disruption or intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and will be decided together. The therapist asks about your goals and what feels most helpful, and then adjusts methods as progress is made. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person rather than following a single fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life or busy days while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
