About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years' experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she combines different counselling traditions to suit each person she works with. Elaine aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about things that are causing pain or confusion.
She will sit alongside clients as they decide what they want to change and set clear goals to guide the work. In sessions Elaine helps people explore anxiety, depression and low mood.
Background and approach
She also addresses stress, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. Elaine uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people find patterns and make new choices. Her approach draws on attachment ideas and client-centred ways of working, together with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness.
She blends these so the work matches the issues and the individual. Sessions can include short exercises, talking through past experiences, and experimenting with small changes between meetings. Elaine encourages people to be honest about what is hard.
She expects the work to be real and sometimes uncomfortable. That discomfort is framed as part of change, with the counsellor offering steady support along the way. Clients may use sessions to focus on things like sleeping and eating problems, addictions, parenting strain, or career questions.
She also helps with deeper struggles such as shame, abandonment and difficulty trusting others. The aim is to move from stuckness into clearer choices and small, sustainable steps forward.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Elaine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and comfort level. That means checking in regularly and adapting the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls bring face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break, and live chat or text messages make short check-ins or written reflection possible between sessions. These formats help people keep continuity, try different ways of working and make therapy fit around daily life.
