Elaine Fyffe

Elaine Fyffe is a humanistic person centred counsellor with 14 years of professional experience. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Elaine aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them and find practical steps forward.

She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and focuses on building on existing strengths. In sessions she listens without judgement and supports people to discover their own solutions. This approach is straightforward and conversational rather than directive.

Elaine has supported people with stress and anxiety, as well as those coping with addictions and grief. She also helps people managing parenting difficulties and depression. Her wider interests include attachment issues, body image, cancer-related concerns, codependency, communication and workplace struggles.

Clients bring concerns such as guilt and shame, feelings of isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, or seasonal mood changes. Elaine works with issues affecting women and matters linked to self-love and forgiveness. She aims to help people make changes that fit their day-to-day life.

If someone prefers to try a few different ways of working, she will adapt sessions to suit their needs. To begin, people are invited to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Elaine's person centred approach works online

Elaine practises a humanistic person centred approach that centres on listening and partnership. This approach involves attentive, non-judgemental listening and helping people notice their own strengths and choices. It is often helpful for worries such as anxiety, depression, grief and feelings of isolation.

Another relevant technique is focused supportive counselling, which helps people talk through immediate problems and find practical coping steps. This can be useful for parenting strains, workplace stress and adjusting after loss.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Elaine will discuss different options with each person and agree together which methods and goals feel most helpful. The work is collaborative and shaped by the clients needs and pace.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make counselling easier to fit into life by reducing travel, allowing a check-in during a lunch break, or offering shorter sessions when needed. It can also help people keep connections with a therapist when relocation or busy schedules make in-person meetings difficult. Confirm current session options and scheduling when you arrange an appointment.
