About Eleni

Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor who blends practical understanding with a warm, interactive style. She trained in psychology at the University of Derby and brings six years of hands-on experience to her work. Sessions focus on everyday problems in ways that feel manageable and clear.

She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Her approach is rooted in client-centred practice, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s priorities.

Background and approach

She also uses mindfulness to help calm racing thoughts and somatic techniques to notice how stress shows up in the body. When past trauma is part of the picture she takes a trauma-informed stance and works carefully at a pace the client can handle. Eleni helps people tackle stress, anxiety and depression, and supports those coping with grief, anger and low self-esteem.

She also works with issues such as addictions, workplace strain and relationship difficulties, and addresses feelings around guilt, shame and isolation. Women’s issues and experiences of prejudice and discrimination are also within her focus. In practical terms sessions can involve talking, learning simple grounding exercises, and noticing physical responses to feelings.

She keeps techniques straightforward so they can be used between sessions. The aim is to help people build tools that fit their daily life. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental presence and a collaborative relationship.

Eleni encourages people to become the expert in their own situation while she offers guidance and gentle challenge where it helps.

How Eleni’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centred Therapy means sessions centre on what matters to the person. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s priorities, helping them find their own answers and next steps. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to slow down busy thinking and to build calm, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and low mood.

These methods are offered collaboratively. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working and check in about what feels helpful. Together they decide which approach, or mix of approaches, fits the client’s needs and preferences.

Online work makes these therapies accessible in several ways. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel and allow for fuller conversation and body language. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want brief check-ins between longer sessions. This variety gives flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and day-to-day life.
