About Elena
Elena Harvey-Kummer is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling after a loss. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, anger, and coping with life changes.
She believes clients are the experts in their own lives and starts by listening carefully. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps clients can use between meetings. Elena offers tools and guidance while keeping the pace set by each person.
Background and approach
Her practice blends several approaches to match individual needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) can help change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centred work focuses on a respectful, collaborative relationship where people feel heard.
Elena also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at how past experiences and personal values shape current choices. Solution-focused and coaching techniques are used when clients want clear goals and short-term progress. She adapts methods to fit what each person finds most useful.
Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Elena aims to help people gain insight, practise new skills, and build confidence in handling life’s difficulties. Simple, practical strategies are often combined with deeper reflection so change is both meaningful and workable.

Online support
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can help with anxiety, low mood and managing daily stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elena will discuss different options and adapt methods to match your needs, goals and preferences. You and the therapist decide together what feels most helpful and when to try new strategies.
Online therapy offers flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you can’t use video, while live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins and written reflection. These formats make it possible to continue steady work without frequent travel and to choose what suits your routine and comfort.
