About Eleni
BACP registered counsellor with six years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. Eleni Chimarrides works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and concerns about self-esteem and addictions. She also addresses relationship and workplace issues and the strain of life changes.
Eleni trained in psychology at the University of Derby and practises using a person-centred approach. She combines that core style with mindfulness and somatic ideas, and a trauma-focused perspective when appropriate. Sessions are interactive and aim to be respectful and sensitive to each person’s circumstances.
In practical terms she uses talking and gentle techniques to help people understand patterns, regulate difficult sensations, and build everyday coping skills. Psychoeducation is used where helpful to explain how stress and trauma affect thinking and the body. Mindfulness practices are offered as short exercises that can fit into a daily routine.
Eleni works with issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, isolation and compassion fatigue, and she pays attention to how prejudice and discrimination can affect wellbeing. She supports women with concerns specific to their lives and roles when they bring those topics to sessions.
Her background emphasises listening and collaboration. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on practical steps they can try between meetings. To begin, readers are asked to follow the platform prompts to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It means the therapist follows what the person brings and helps them name concerns and priorities. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, conversational space to look at feelings and decisions.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices. These are short exercises aimed at reducing reactivity and helping with anxiety, stress and low mood. Somatic Therapy works with bodily sensations and gentle grounding techniques to help with trauma-related reactions and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the person, check what feels useful, and adapt methods based on goals and preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are set through the platform. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
