About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, depression and a wide range of other concerns. Sessions draw on attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas.
Elaine describes her work as collaborative. She helps people identify areas they want to change. She and the client set practical goals and make a simple plan to reach them. Sessions include talking, noticing patterns and trying small steps between meetings.
She uses client-centred listening to help people feel heard and to clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural techniques are applied to spot and test unhelpful thoughts and routines. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are used to look at relationship patterns that repeat over time.
Elaine also brings mindfulness tools to reduce tension and manage strong emotions. She can support people dealing with trauma, addictions, parenting stresses, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, and major life changes. She works with problems like panic, phobias, OCD patterns and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Her approach aims for honest, practical work. Clients should expect discussions that can be sometimes difficult and sometimes uplifting. The counsellor encourages steady progress through clear goals and ongoing review. To start, clients follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships. Online sessions use this lens to notice repeating interaction styles and to practise different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and exploration; in remote sessions that usually means reflective conversation and joint planning to identify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviours with practical exercises and experiments that can be set between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss options with each client and make decisions together based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what happens in later sessions.
The practical benefits of online meetings include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid camera use if preferred, or schedule sessions around work or family commitments. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current session options before booking to be sure they match your needs.
