About Eleni
Eleni Ourani is a counsellor with nine years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She sees people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and the pressures of life change. Eleni also supports clients with relationship and intimacy concerns, work and career stress, and issues linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is integrative and tailored to each person. She draws on several ways of working and chooses methods that suit the individual’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on how someone relates to their thoughts and feelings, and on small steps that ease daily distress. Eleni uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to help people notice and change habits of thinking that make mood worse.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build a different relationship with unwanted thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness and self-compassion are part of her practice, helping people to be kinder toward themselves when things are hard. She aims to make the therapy space calm and respectful so people feel able to share hard things without judgement.
People who choose Eleni often want practical tools alongside gentle exploration. She welcomes straightforward conversations about goals and adjusts the plan as those goals change over time.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to test them. This approach is helpful for panic, phobias, rumination and day-to-day anxiety because it gives clear steps to change reactions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of connecting and responding to others. It can be helpful when patterns of trust, abandonment or intimacy become sources of distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a way of working that fits a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted if something does not feel helpful.
Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see gestures and facial cues, phone work uses less bandwidth, live chat can be a short way to check in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
