About Elena
Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Romanian. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, anger, self-esteem problems, addictions, trauma, and a wide range of other concerns.
Her earlier career as a nurse shaped her interest in how people cope with life and health challenges. In sessions she focuses on clear, practical discussion. People come away with greater clarity about what they feel and why certain patterns repeat in their lives.
Elena draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Systemic Therapy alongside other methods she has studied. She uses these approaches to help people understand emotions, work through painful experiences and address communication or control issues in relationships.
Sessions aim to explore difficult emotions and unblock stuck patterns. She offers tools to manage anger, boost confidence and cope with change. Work can include looking at family dynamics, attachment patterns and how past losses affect current relationships.
Her style is collaborative and practical. She helps people identify small steps they can try between sessions. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first meeting so priorities can be set together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. It emphasises listening, reflecting what is said and helping people notice their own resources. This can help with anger, low self-esteem and relationship conversations.Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person’s internal world and how they relate to one another. It can help people understand why some reactions, like sudden anger or avoidance, keep happening and how to relate differently to those parts.
Systemic Therapy examines patterns in relationships and family dynamics. It is useful when anger or control issues are connected to communication cycles or repeated relational roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods to try, based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may combine elements from the approaches above.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work with appointments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, regularly offer remote appointments to help people continue therapy alongside daily commitments.
