Sessions & fees
Person centred care and practical online therapy
Elaine uses a humanistic person centred approach that focuses on respectful listening and helping people draw on their own strengths. This approach is useful for managing stress, anxiety, depression and for working through grief and parenting concerns because it centres the person’s experience and priorities.She also works from general evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress through structured conversations and goal-focused steps. These techniques help break down problems into manageable parts and support practical coping strategies for issues such as addictions, workplace stress and seasonal affective disorder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Elaine works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses. Decisions about pace and focus are made together so people feel involved in their own care.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are suited to in-depth conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing thoughtful reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping care consistent.
