About Elaine
Counsellor (BACP), 7 years' experience. Elaine Doyle helps people with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. She uses a person-centred approach and works with each person at their own pace.
Elaine sees what a client brings and follows their lead rather than directing the process. She does not set homework as part of her practice, though she may offer suggestions in session. Her way of working aims to let people talk through painful topics and make sense of their reactions.
Her background includes a training at LCANDCTA and a range of continuing professional development qualifications. These include a level 4 qualification in substance misuse and study in supporting women in danger of domestic violence and abuse and prevention. She also co-authored research on addiction with a focus on problem gambling, which was presented at the BACP national research conference in 2016.
Elaine has run a private practice since September 2017. She offers both short-term and longer-term counselling depending on what a person needs. Sessions are collaborative; Elaine works alongside the person to agree how to approach their concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided within the United Kingdom. People who want to start are asked to use the site buttons to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The counsellor reflects what the person says, helps them clarify their feelings, and supports them to make their own choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and addictions by making it easier to talk through difficult material at a steady pace.Elaine tailors the pace and content to each person. She will work with the individual to identify which approach fits their needs and goals. Deciding which way of working feels right is a joint process rather than a predefined plan.
Practical benefits of using sessions through the platform include fitting counselling into daily life and keeping appointments without extra travel. The biographical details state she offers phone sessions and video sessions on the platform; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that are easier to schedule around work or family commitments.
