About Eleni

Eleni Chimarrides is a counsellor with six years of experience and a BACP credential. She trained in psychology at the University of Derby and now offers therapy in the United Kingdom. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Eleni takes a person-centred view. She looks at emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual aspects when talking with someone. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, so people set the focus and goals together with her.

Background and approach

She has worked with many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also helps with grief, anger, low self-esteem and struggles around addiction and relationships. Practical life changes and workplace worries are within her scope too.

Eleni uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. These include client-centred methods, trauma-informed ideas, somatic techniques and mindfulness practices. She explains tools and options clearly, so people can try what fits them.

Her style emphasises respect and dignity. Sessions aim to be a supportive place to talk things through, reduce overwhelm and try new coping strategies. People who want a compassionate, down-to-earth counsellor may find her approach helpful.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Online approaches for trauma and wellbeing

Online work with Eleni often draws on trauma-focused methods that look at the effects of distressing events and practical ways to reduce their impact. This approach helps when past experiences keep affecting day-to-day life and when symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety or overwhelming memories are present.

She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening, acceptance and building a trusting relationship. That approach suits people who need space to make sense of feelings and to set their own goals. Mindfulness therapy appears as another tool she offers, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss options, try techniques in session and adjust based on what helps most. Clients are invited to feed back so planning stays practical and relevant to their needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone work can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to use video. Messaging and live chat offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel.
