About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a Humanistic Integrative counsellor with seven years of practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and works to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to bring painful or confusing feelings. Elaine supports people through anxiety, depression and life changes by helping them name what matters and plan next steps.
She draws on Client-Centred Therapy as a core influence, meeting people where they are and listening without judgement. Elaine also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to follow the threads of a problem and discover patterns that keep it going. Sessions often involve talking things through, spotting unhelpful thoughts, and testing small changes between meetings.
Elaine helps people set practical goals and build a plan that suits their life. She encourages self-discovery and accepts that the work can feel uncomfortable before it gets easier. There is room in sessions for emotion, reflection and practical problem-solving.
Her focus covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, relationship and attachment issues, trauma and grief, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, and coping with major life transitions. Elaine also pays attention to issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, and obsessive or phobic patterns.
People can expect a collaborative approach that balances listening with clear, practical steps. Elaine helps people identify options, choose what to try, and review what works as therapy progresses.
How Elaine's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgement. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make decisions about change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and can help with intimacy, trust and communication struggles.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and suggests practical experiments to test new ways of coping. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic and phobias where changing thought patterns can reduce symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elaine will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they set practical aims and review what helps as therapy progresses.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around busy days and avoiding travel time.
