About Elaine
Elaine Griffith is a BACP-registered counsellor with seven years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Elaine describes her practice as drawing on several counselling approaches to meet each person's needs. She works closely with clients to identify the parts of life they want to change. Together they set goals and agree a plan for moving forward.
In sessions she uses a humanistic, client-focused stance alongside cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means practical tools and thought work sit beside exploration of past patterns and attachment. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused methods to help with immediate coping and clearer next steps.
People can expect straightforward collaboration rather than technical jargon. Elaine supports exploration of anxiety, low mood or panic, and helps people look for the roots of recurring difficulties. She also works with intimacy and family-related issues and concerns around shame, guilt or abandonment.
Her practice aims to balance practical coping strategies with deeper reflection. Progress is framed in attainable goals and small changes. Elaine notes that therapy can bring discomfort as well as relief, and she stays alongside clients while they work through those moments.
How sessions work
Approaches over video or phone and how they help
Elaine draws on Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Attachment-based elements look at early relationship patterns and how they influence how people respond to emotion now; this can help with recurring anger, trust issues and intimacy concerns. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives concrete strategies for managing anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Elaine will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day constraints and collaborate on which approaches to use. That way sessions can focus on immediate coping skills or on deeper exploration depending on what the person needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. They can also let people choose camera-off conversations or audio options if that helps them engage more comfortably.
