About Elaine
Elaine Macgregor is a counsellor who works with adults on everyday and complex problems. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs. Elaine is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she combines practical talk with reflective work to help people move forward.
Elaine spends time looking at current difficulties such as depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps with loss, addictions and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals and small changes that make daily life easier. Relationships are a key interest for Elaine. She explores patterns, attachment responses and communication dynamics so people can understand how they relate to others.
That work includes looking at commitment issues, codependency and blended family pressures. Elaine supports personal growth too. She helps people find or rediscover their sense of self and build the confidence to live more authentically.
Work here can involve values-based choices, grieving what’s been lost and practising new ways of relating. She offers short or longer-term work with adults aged 18 and over. Elaine also provides clinical supervision and teaches counselling, and she keeps learning through regular professional development.
Sessions are available in English and Portuguese, and she is able to work with international clients using remote formats. Practical next steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

Online support
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Elaine will discuss your goals and try methods that match those aims, checking in regularly to see what helps. Together you can mix ways of working so sessions feel practical and relevant to your life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across different formats. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual connection matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy a regular part of your routine, regardless of location.
