About Elaine
Counsellor and member of BACP, Elaine Fyffe has 14 years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and depression. Elaine offers straightforward, person-centred counselling and meets people where their difficulties are.
Elaine uses a humanistic, person-centred approach. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and focuses on building a respectful therapeutic relationship. Sessions involve talking through problems, noticing strengths, and finding practical ways to cope day to day.
She has supported people dealing with loss and bereavement. She also helps those managing addictive behaviours and the stress that can follow. Parenting issues and workplace stress are regular topics in her work.
Her practice covers wider concerns linked to relationships and identity. These include attachment issues, codependency, communication problems and body image. She also works with people facing cancer, seasonal affective disorder and questions about life purpose.
Sessions look at guilt, shame and issues around forgiveness when these come up. Elaine also supports women who want to talk about self-love and finding balance. Her style is conversational and focused on practical next steps.
People can expect a clear, calm approach that aims to break concerns into manageable parts. Elaine uses plain language and helps people find small changes they can try between meetings. This is intended to make daily life feel a little easier and more manageable.
Person-centred work and practical coping online
Elaine primarily works from a humanistic, person-centred stance. This approach focuses on listening, understanding the caller's experience and recognising the person's own resources. It suits people who want to talk things through and build practical ways to manage anxiety, low mood or relationship strain.She also draws on broadly evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to improve everyday coping. These techniques include simple skills for managing stress and ways of looking at unhelpful patterns. They are useful for problems such as addictions, grief reactions and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of her work together with each person. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
