About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a counsellor with seven years of practice and a membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She describes her work as humanistic and integrative, drawing on several therapeutic traditions to meet each person’s needs. Elaine offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is causing them pain or worry.
Elaine helps people name the areas of life they want to change and supports them to set practical goals.
Background and approach
She works together with clients to try different options and agree a plan for therapy. Sessions can include talking, reflective exercises, and simple tools to manage difficult feelings. People come to Elaine for many concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictions.
She also helps with parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, and career worries. Additional focus areas include attachment wounds, communication problems, separation and forgiveness concerns. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking.
Elaine emphasises working at a person’s pace and adapting methods to what feels most useful. She expects honest and sometimes uncomfortable work, with the aim of helping people find lasting change. Sessions are offered in English and she sees people across the United Kingdom.
Elaine accepts international clients and uses a mixture of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to work with people wherever they are.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Elaine uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when worries are tied to trust, closeness or repeating old relationship habits. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behaviour to relieve anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine collaborates with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and day-to-day life. She will check in and adapt the plan as progress is made or priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful when visual connection helps, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits short check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family life, work breaks and different time zones while still working through the issues that matter.
