About Eleni
Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds a Psychology BSc (Honours) from the University of Derby and has six years of clinical experience. Eleni works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related difficulties.
She aims to offer a warm, respectful space where clients can speak openly and begin to make changes. Her style is interactive and person-centred, which means she focuses on the person rather than labels.
Background and approach
Sessions explore emotions, personal values and the everyday pressures affecting wellbeing. Eleni also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice how their body and mind respond to stress. Across sessions she uses plain explanations and practical tools alongside listening and reflection.
That might include simple breathing practices, grounding exercises, or talking through patterns that keep problems going. The goal is to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to manage difficult moments. Eleni has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, addictions and workplace issues.
She also supports people dealing with prejudice, isolation and compassion fatigue. Her background in psychology informs a straightforward approach to understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour. People who find a calm, empathetic style helpful may get on well with Eleni.
She encourages clients to take the lead in setting goals and decides together what steps feel most useful. Sessions aim to build practical skills and clearer ways of moving forward.

Approaches Eleni lists

Online support
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices. These exercises can help reduce anxiety and ease emotional overwhelm by bringing awareness to the present moment.
Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how stress shows up physically. Techniques might include grounding or movement-based practices to help somebody feel less stuck after trauma or prolonged stress.
Finding the best approach is a joint process. Eleni will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative so adjustments can be made as work progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video works well for conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments.
