Elena Simona Lazar, BACP

Elena uses client-centred work to create a listening space where the client’s experience comes first. This approach focuses on understanding your perspective and working at your pace, which can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with self-worth.

She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people identify different parts inside them that hold emotions or beliefs. That way clients can learn to relate differently to difficult feelings and reduce inner conflict, which can help with trauma, addiction patterns and relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elena treats the choice of methods as a conversation and will adapt her way of working to match your needs, goals and preferences. You and she decide together what feels most helpful at each stage.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video suits deeper conversations that benefit from seeing each other, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, practical coaching or when written reflection helps. These options aim to make attending therapy easier around work, family and daily life.
