About Elaine Bell
Trauma-informed in her practice, Elaine supports people with a broad range of concerns including relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, self-esteem, and spiritual exploration. Her work is integrative, drawing on client-centered, existential, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-informed ideas to attend to emotional depth, bodily experience, and the personal scripts that shape daily life and relationships.
Elaine works relationally, helping people notice patterns, build on existing strengths, and move toward more authentic, fulfilling ways of living. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and aims to create a supportive space for exploration, change, and self-compassion.
Important update effective Monday 14th April 2025 - in line with the BACP Ethical Framework, Elaine will now offer weekly phone, video, and live chat sessions only for all new clients. Asynchronous messaging will be limited to practical matters such as scheduling, sharing resources, or session materials; personal journal entries may be placed in the message space but will not receive a therapeutic response. This change supports clear boundaries and ensures therapeutic work is contained within scheduled sessions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Elaine draws on client-centered therapy, existential therapy, and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the person is treated as the expert of their own experience; it is helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Existential therapy invites exploration of meaning, choice, and responsibility, supporting people who face questions about purpose, identity, isolation, or major life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches practical awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations, offering tools to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elaine collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting her work as trust and clarity develop. The relationship between therapist and client helps determine how these approaches are blended.
Online therapy with Elaine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Weekly scheduled sessions are used to contain therapeutic work, while messaging can support practical matters between appointments. Remote options make it easier for people to access registered professionals from varied locations and to maintain continuity of care alongside daily commitments.
