Elaine Fyffe

Elaine Fyffe is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, parenting concerns and depression. Elaine also helps people facing issues such as body image, attachment problems, codependency and life purpose.

Elaine practises from a humanistic person-centred perspective. She starts by listening and helping people name what is most pressing. Sessions focus on practical thinking and honest conversation rather than jargon. That way people can spot small changes to try between meetings.

Clients who come for help with grief or loss are offered steady, paced support. For anxiety and stress the sessions aim to identify patterns that keep worries going, then test realistic alternatives. When parenting or workplace strain is the issue, she helps people work through immediate choices and options for next steps.

Issues like guilt, shame or isolation are tackled by looking at current relationships and self-talk. Elaine also supports people dealing with cancer-related concerns and seasonal mood changes. She encourages people to recognise existing strengths and to experiment with manageable changes.

Practical matters such as how to prepare for a session, manageable goals, and what to try between meetings are part of the work. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.

How Elaine applies humanistic and person-centred methods online

Elaine works from a humanistic person-centred perspective which centres on listening, reflection and helping people articulate what matters to them. This approach involves open conversation, reflective questions and collaborative planning to help someone move through uncertainty or persistent worry.

She also emphasises practical problem-solving within sessions. That means identifying small, testable changes - for example different ways to approach a difficult conversation, new routines to manage stress, or steps to address addictive behaviours. These practical tasks aim to give clear next steps between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences and will adapt the style over time in collaboration with the client. This helps shape goals that feel manageable and realistic.
