About Elena
Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP accreditation and six years of experience. She draws on a background in nursing and counselling studies to offer calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties. Sessions focus on listening, understanding and helping people make changes that fit their lives.
Her nursing experience shaped a practical, person-focused way of working. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful emotions and feel heard. Elena uses a mix of approaches chosen to suit each person rather than a single fixed method.
In sessions she helps people get clearer about what they feel and why certain patterns repeat. She works alongside clients to explore difficult memories and strong emotions gently and at a manageable pace. This can include matters such as low self-esteem, anger, grief, addiction and coping with life changes.
Elena also supports people with relationship and intimacy-related problems, communication issues, blended family concerns and parenting strain. She offers practical techniques that aim to make everyday life easier and to build more resilient ways of coping.
Her approach is collaborative and respectful. Clients can expect to try different strategies and to reflect on what works best for them. Sessions are conducted in English and Romanian and are arranged through the site’s booking process.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard, build self-awareness and make choices that match their values. Internal Family Systems views the mind as having different parts and helps people relate to those parts with curiosity, which can be useful for trauma, self-esteem and patterns of behaviour.Finding the right way of working is a shared process. Elena will talk with each client about goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. The plan can change over time based on what feels most helpful and manageable for the person.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Many people find remote sessions fit more easily into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Elena aims to make sessions practical so they slot into everyday life and support steady progress without assuming any particular format.
