About Elaine Bennett

Elaine Bennett is a warm and approachable therapist who supports people navigating moments of overwhelm, disconnection, and life transition. With four years of clinical experience, she works with clients who feel out of control, are coping with past relationship pain, or are simply unsure which direction to take next. Elaine focuses on helping individuals make sense of their experiences, explore emotional patterns, and reclaim a greater sense of agency and calm.

She offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can express themselves honestly, reflect on the reasons behind their feelings, and use those insights to shape a more satisfying future. Her work emphasises understanding rather than dwelling on the past, and encourages self-kindness as a practical route to improved mood and self-esteem. Elaine is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Sessions aim to help clients feel heard, clarify what matters to them, and identify choices that lead to greater freedom in daily life. Prospective clients may message Elaine or schedule a session to discuss how they might work together and tailor a plan to meet individual needs. She replies to messages Monday to Friday, and will respond as soon as possible if contacted outside those times.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Change

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, focusing on creating a respectful and empathetic environment where people can explore their feelings and values. It helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and the emotional fallout of relationship difficulties by prioritising understanding and self-directed growth.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move someone toward their goals. This approach is useful for clients seeking clearer direction on problems such as stress, anxiety, or coping with major life changes, because it emphasises strengths and achievable outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Elaine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve. The process is collaborative and guided by the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to book appointments that suit their schedules, continue work between sessions, and access registered professionals from their own environment, making consistent therapeutic support easier to maintain.
