I'm Elena. If you're here, you're probably looking for a therapist who feels like the right fit. I hope this gives you a sense of who I am and how I work.

A grounded and soulful perspective

I am an integrative transpersonal therapist. My approach is relational, thoughtful and gently paced, offering a space where you can explore your experiences safely and without judgement.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches, including psychodynamic, Gestalt, attachment, humanistic and Jungian thinking. Alongside psychological understanding, I also hold space for questions of meaning, purpose and connection. I believe that the relationship we build together can become an important part of the healing process.

My own life experience and its influence on my counselling work

My work is shaped not only by professional training but also by life experience. I worked in the corporate world, so I understand the pressures of responsibility, performance and constant juggling. Having grown up in Romania and lived in the UK for nearly twenty years, I know what it means to live between cultures. Becoming a mother later in life has also deepened my understanding of identity, transition and the questions that often emerge in midlife.

I have also experienced the loss of close family members. While every person's grief is unique, these experiences have given me a deeper capacity to stay alongside the pain that accompanies loss and death with compassion, steadiness and care.

What You Can Expect

Clients often describe me as calm, thoughtful and deeply attuned. I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you, with the aim of supporting meaningful, lasting change and helping you move towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

I hold a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Re-Vision and am a registered member of the BACP, working in accordance with its Ethical Framework.
