About Elaine

Elaine Robb is a NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' counselling experience. She helps people who feel stuck and want clearer thinking to make decisions. Her work covers stress, anxiety, grief, anger and relationship and family difficulties among other concerns.

Elaine draws on person-centred practice to focus on what a person brings to the session. She listens to the facts and feelings a person is carrying. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and she avoids pushing someone to disclose before they are ready.

Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma, abuse, sexual violence and domestic violence. She has also worked with clients dealing with workplace bullying, the effects of crime, and difficulties with self-esteem. Elaine uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside client-centred work when trauma is part of the picture.

In sessions she aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking issues into manageable steps. Conversations cover how current feelings link to events, and practical ways to respond differently to triggers such as anger or flashbacks. She helps people notice patterns like codependency, attachment concerns or control issues so they can try other approaches.

People can expect a straightforward, non-pressured way of working. Elaine will listen and work at the pace set by the person in front of her. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and more useful choices in daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflecting and following the topics a person brings. This approach helps with low self-esteem, relationship issues and general distress by giving space to sort through thoughts and feelings.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the impact of traumatic events and works to reduce the hold those memories have. It concentrates on understanding triggers and building practical ways to respond to flashbacks, anger or overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss options with the client and agree on what to focus on together. The choice of methods is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress to match goals and preferences.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday demands.
