Elaine Fyffe, BACP

Elaine Fyffe is a humanistic person centred counsellor with 14 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and offers a calm, respectful approach. Elaine aims to help people feel heard and understood while they work through difficult emotions.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, grief and loss, parenting pressures, and depression. Elaine also pays attention to concerns such as attachment issues, body image, workplace problems and isolation. Her practice includes support around life purpose, guilt and shame, and women's issues.

Elaine believes clients are the experts in their own lives. She listens without judgement and helps people draw on their strengths. The sessions are aimed at helping people discover practical steps and new perspectives.

Her style is gentle and collaborative. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to set goals that feel achievable. Elaine frames change as a process that begins with small steps.

People who choose her often want steady, compassionate support when facing loss, change, or ongoing stress. She helps them make sense of painful feelings and find ways to manage day-to-day life. To begin, clients complete a short match questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Elaine's approaches translate to online therapy

Humanistic person centred counselling focuses on building a trusting relationship, active listening and reflecting what matters to the client. This approach helps with feelings of grief, anxiety, depression and stress by giving space to make sense of emotions and identify personal strengths.

In sessions that draw on evidence-based techniques, practical problem-solving may be used alongside person centred listening. That might include breaking down stressful situations into small manageable steps and trying new ways to cope. These techniques are useful for workplace stress, parenting pressures and managing addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ways of working fit their needs and goals. This is a shared process that can change as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times around work or childcare and use shorter sessions for practical planning.
