About Elle
Counsellor Elle Fair is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years' experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, life changes, family matters, trauma and abuse, grief, career questions, coaching and ADHD.
Elle aims to build a trusting working relationship so people can bring the concerns that matter to them. She offers one-to-one counselling rather than relationship or family sessions. She supports people who are dealing with past events, navigating change, or looking to make different choices in life.
Her practice draws on client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns in thoughts and feelings. She may suggest practical steps to try between meetings and helps people check what does and does not help.
Elle pays attention to emotions that are often difficult to name, such as shame, anger or guilt. She helps people look for the needs behind these feelings and find safer ways to express them. She also supports people working through issues linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family situations.
People often bring questions about body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce, infidelity, isolation, impulsivity or emptiness. Elle includes these topics alongside everyday pressures like work stress and career choices. She works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Practical matters such as cost and how to start a course of counselling are handled through the site's matching and booking process. Clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and arranging a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor gives space for people to talk through what matters and reflects back what she hears to help clarify feelings. This approach often helps with self-acceptance, shame and emotional confusion.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking patterns and build different ways of responding. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Elle will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use and adjusts the plan as sessions proceed.
Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online meetings to keep therapy accessible while tailoring it to someone’s day-to-day life.
