Elena Harvey-Kummer, BACP

Elena Harvey-Kummer is a BACP-credentialed therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and the practical challenges that come with life changes. She supports work on relationship difficulties, motivation, and confidence while also offering coaching-style guidance for clients aiming for lasting change.

Elena approaches therapy from an integrative perspective, drawing on evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She works from the belief that individuals are the experts on their own lives and that therapy is a collaborative process in which existing strengths are identified and mobilised. Her role is to offer support, practical tools, and compassionate guidance as clients explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns that may be holding them back.

Her practice includes approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to reframe unhelpful thinking, client-centered work to build a supportive therapeutic relationship, and psychodynamic and existential ideas to understand how past experience and questions of meaning shape current behaviour. Elena is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and welcomes clients seeking thoughtful, tailored support for a range of emotional and life concerns.

Integrative approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Elena often uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore emotions, build self-trust, and improve self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy features in her practice to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for issues such as anxiety and low mood. Existential Therapy is also part of her toolkit, offering space to explore meaning, values, and life direction when clients face questions about purpose or major life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Registered professionals and therapists typically work with clients to identify what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preference, and Elena collaborates with each person to tailor the methods used.

Online therapy with Elena is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and engage in therapy in a format that feels most comfortable.
