About Elena

Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she speaks English and Romanian. Elena draws on a background in nursing and counselling to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addiction, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Her nursing experience shaped a practical interest in how emotional and physical health interact. Sessions focus on clear, everyday conversation about what is happening now and what feels hard.

Background and approach

She aims to help people name difficult emotions, find small steps forward and build more confidence in daily life. Elena uses a mix of client-centred ways of working and systemic thinking. She listens for recurring patterns in relationships and helps clients notice inner parts of themselves that influence choices.

Work can include exploring feelings around abandonment, attachment or control, and addressing issues such as communication problems, codependency or compassion fatigue. Sessions are adapted to each person. She offers gentle exploration of painful emotions alongside practical techniques to manage stress, cravings or anger.

Elena also supports people dealing with career or parenting strain, chronic illness or body image concerns. Her style is warm and direct. She encourages honest conversation and collaborative goal-setting.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Elena’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It emphasises listening, unconditional acceptance and helping people find their own answers, which is useful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship struggles.

Internal Family Systems works with the idea that we have different inner parts that hold emotions and beliefs. This approach can help people understand self-critical voices, parts that avoid intimacy, or responses tied to past trauma.

Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and within families. It helps clients notice repeated dynamics and try new ways of communicating or setting boundaries, which can be useful for blended family issues or caregiving stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elena will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and health commitments.
