Elena Simona Lazar , BACP

Elena Simona Lazar brings a compassionate, practical approach to therapy shaped by more than six years of professional experience and a decade-long background in nursing. She combines clinical insight with emotional attunement to help people navigate relationship tensions, family conflicts, intimacy concerns, grief, anger, motivation struggles, and low self-esteem. Her work also addresses depression, anxiety, addictions, coping with life changes, and a broad range of stress-related challenges.

Elena creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult feelings and recurring patterns. Her nursing experience inspired a deeper interest in emotional and psychological wellbeing, and she has completed training in Counselling Level 4 as well as methods such as Internal Family Systems, CBT, the Sedona Method, Systemic Constellations, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Voices Dialogue. She adapts these tools to each person’s needs rather than applying a single fixed model.

As a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Elena follows professional practice standards while tailoring sessions to help clients gain clarity, process painful emotions gently, and develop practical techniques for improving relationships and self-relationship. She is motivated by supporting people to reconnect with inner resources and build greater confidence and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Elena draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace and focus of work and feel heard - an approach that helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. She also uses Internal Family Systems to explore inner parts and conflicts, helping clients understand competing emotions and develop self-led compassion when addressing issues like trauma, addiction, or persistent anxiety. Systemic Therapy informs her work with couples and families by looking at patterns and relationships rather than viewing problems in isolation, which can be useful for communication difficulties, blended family issues, and ongoing family conflict.

Finding the right method is part of the therapeutic journey. Elena works collaboratively with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy feels relevant and practical. She partners with clients to explore options and to shape a plan that suits their circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied routines and accessibility needs. For many people this range of options makes it easier to maintain regular work on goals, stay connected with a therapist between sessions, and access help from home or while traveling, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
