About Elaine
Elaine Fyffe is a humanistic person centred counsellor with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and issues around addiction and parenting. Elaine writes plainly and focuses on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.
She believes each person is the expert on their own life and brings that view into every session. Elaine looks for strengths a person already has and helps them use those strengths when life feels overwhelming. Her style is warm and respectful and aims to make space for people to tell their story at their own pace.
Elaine often helps people untangle relationship patterns such as communication problems, attachment issues and codependency. She also addresses concerns about body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose. Practical coping strategies and clearer thinking about priorities are common themes in her work.
People contact her about workplace stress, seasonal mood shifts, and the emotional impact of cancer or bereavement. She also supports those wanting to build self-love and work through forgiveness. Sessions are aimed at small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes.
Sessions take a collaborative approach where the person and Elaine plan what to focus on together. Her BACP registration is noted as part of her background. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
How person centred care and practical techniques work online
Elaine draws on humanistic, person centred principles that focus on listening and recognising a person's own resources. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they identify what matters most and set small, realistic goals.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to develop coping skills and clearer thinking around difficult feelings. These practical tools can support work on anxiety, stress, depression, codependency and grief by breaking problems into manageable steps and building routines that help day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elaine collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can change over time as priorities shift and progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day, avoid camera use if preferred, or schedule sessions that better match work and family routines.
