About Elaine

Elaine McQueen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Elaine treats each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

She aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and begin to feel steadier. Elaine adapts her conversations and the plan she uses to match what each person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, helping people work through relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and anger. She also offers support for longer-term difficulties such as bipolar disorder, ADHD and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with practical steps.

Elaine helps people identify coping strategies and small changes they can try between sessions. She also supports people dealing with life transitions, forgiveness, guilt and issues around attachment and abandonment. Her background in the UK mental health field gives her familiarity with a wide range of concerns.

Elaine is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP. That registration reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. Sessions can be arranged by starting the online process and completing a short matching questionnaire.

Elaine works in English and does not take international clients, so sessions are held with people in the UK.

How Elaine translates therapy approaches into online care

Elaine draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her sessions in plain, practical ways. One common approach focuses on coping skills and behavioural changes - this helps people manage anxiety, stress and addictive patterns by teaching specific steps to try day to day. Another approach emphasises exploring emotions and life events to make sense of grief, trauma and relationship problems; this helps people name feelings and reduce their intensity over time.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process and Elaine treats it as a collaboration. She will listen to your goals and preferences, discuss options and adjust the approach as you go. That means the plan can change if something isn’t helpful, and you decide which tools feel most useful for your life.

Online therapy with Elaine is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection helps the conversation, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let you check in between appointments or use written conversation if that feels easier. These options aim to make it simpler to get support around work, family and daily routines.
