About Elaine

Elaine Griffith is a counsellor who brings seven years of practice to her work. She holds BACP membership, and she offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what is worrying them. Elaine describes her approach as humanistic and integrative, so sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Sessions begin with listening. Elaine helps people identify the areas they want to change and then agrees simple goals together.

Background and approach

She uses practical conversation, gentle challenge and reflective exercises to help people understand patterns that keep causing pain. Many people come for help with anxiety, depression, stress or grief, and she also supports those affected by trauma and abuse. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect emotional life.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to shift feelings and behaviour. Client-centred principles keep the pace steady and rooted in the person’s experience. Elaine also uses mindfulness to build awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity.

She can work with issues linked to intimacy, addiction, obsessive thoughts, panic and sleeping problems. She will help people explore choices around separation, communication problems and family strain without judgement. People who meet her can expect a collaborative style.

Elaine explains options, checks what feels helpful, and adapts the work as needed. Therapy can be practical, emotional and sometimes challenging, with a focus on clearer thinking and small steps that add up to change.

How Elaine’s approaches translate to online therapy

Elaine uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This helps when people want to understand patterns like abandonment, communication problems or intimacy issues. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviours. These approaches suit worries such as anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That might mean blending attachment-focused exploration with CBT exercises and short mindfulness practices to see what fits best over time.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and body language, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera, chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give more flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
