She also works with clients who experience concentration and memory difficulties and those seeking help with focus. Elena holds the BACP credential (BACP - British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognized professional designation in the UK.

Elena aims to create an open, non-judgmental space where clients can share their thoughts and feelings honestly. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person s pace, acknowledging that taking the first step toward therapy requires courage. She welcomes individuals ready to begin exploring their concerns and to work toward clearer direction and greater emotional balance.

Approach-Oriented Online Therapy

Elena applies several evidence-informed approaches in her online practice to help clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult emotions while identifying personal values and committed actions - it can support those facing anxiety, low mood, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and concentration difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to experience, offering tools to manage stress, improve focus, and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elena works collaboratively with clients and with input from licensed professionals when appropriate to determine the best fit based on each person s needs, goals, and preferences. This may include blending techniques from different models to suit the individual.

Online therapy with Elena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, helping therapy fit into real life.
