Elaine Fyffe, BACP

Elaine Fyffe is a qualified humanistic person centred counsellor with 14 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, loss, parenting challenges and depression. She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that individuals already possess strengths that can help them navigate difficult changes. Elaine combines a warm, non-judgemental stance with practical care to help clients recognise those strengths and take steps toward a more satisfying life.

Elaine sees reaching out for support as a courageous first step and approaches therapy as a collaborative process that empowers people to identify their goals and build resilience. She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and applies evidence-informed approaches tailored to each client’s needs. Elaine’s practice focuses on creating a supportive environment where people can explore feelings, develop coping strategies and work toward meaningful change at a pace that suits them.

Person-Centred Care and Evidence-Informed Online Support

Elaine works from a humanistic, person-centred approach that focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients clarify their own goals. This approach emphasises the client’s perspective and builds on existing strengths to support change, which can be helpful for issues such as grief, depression, parenting challenges and relationship difficulties.

Alongside person-centred work, Elaine draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. These practical, research-informed strategies are used to address symptoms of anxiety, stress and addiction, and to develop coping skills for everyday challenges and emotional recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elaine collaborates with each client to identify which methods feel most helpful, adapting pace and focus to match the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Elaine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to access support from home or on the go while working with a BACP-registered therapist who aims to make therapy accessible and practical.
