About Elaine
Elaine Fyffe is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, parenting concerns and depression. Elaine also helps people who are dealing with issues such as attachment, body image, codependency, communication problems and guilt and shame.
Elaine describes herself as a humanistic person-centred counsellor who believes the client is the expert on their own story. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting so people can notice their strengths and decide what to try next. She aims to create a straightforward working relationship that centres the client's concerns and choices.
In practical terms she often supports people managing the effects of loss, persistent worry, or difficult habits. That can mean talking through recent events or patterns that trace back to family, faith or relationships. Work with guilt and shame is handled through careful exploration of how those feelings affect daily life and decision-making.
Her style is steady and plain. Elaine helps people name what is happening, test small changes, and practise new ways of responding. She encourages clients to try things between sessions and then review what worked and what did not.
Sessions are organised through the site's process. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online
Elaine works from a humanistic person-centred stance, which centres the client's perspective and values. In practice this means she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice their own strengths and choices. This approach can be helpful for people coping with guilt, grief, or ongoing low mood.She also uses general evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms such as anxiety and depression. These techniques involve practical exercises and experiments to test small changes in thinking and behaviour, which can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Such approaches suit people who want concrete steps alongside reflective conversation.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Elaine will work with each client to identify goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions are reviewed so the plan can be adjusted according to what helps most.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quick check-in when bandwidth or time are limited.
