About Elaine
Elaine Doyle is a counsellor who supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress and relationship difficulties. She also helps those dealing with addiction, grief and trauma. Elaine writes plainly and listens closely so clients can talk about painful topics without judgement.
She trained as a person-centred therapist and has worked in the field for seven years. Elaine has run a independent practice since September 2017 and has experience supporting people with drug and alcohol issues, process addictions such as gambling, and domestic violence concerns.
Background and approach
She has also contributed to research on problem gambling presented at the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy national conference in 2016. In sessions she follows a client-led approach. That means the person decides what to bring and where the conversation goes.
Elaine does not give direct advice but may offer suggestions when useful to help people see options. Therapy can be short term or longer, depending on what someone needs. Elaine works collaboratively and focuses on building a trusting relationship that helps people gain a clearer sense of themselves and move through difficult moments.
Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person, with no requirement for homework unless a client wants it.

Approaches Elaine lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Elaine uses a collaborative style to decide on goals and ways of working. She will discuss what you want from therapy and help choose an approach that fits your needs and preferences. Working together means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let you read facial cues and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick reflections, or when typing helps you express yourself. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family life, and to keep continuity even when travel or busy schedules make in-person sessions difficult.
