About Elaine Doyle

Elaine Doyle is a person-centred therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience and a private practice established in September 2017. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression, and she also focuses on related challenges such as abandonment, codependency, domestic violence, substance and process addictions, and issues affecting men, women and young adults.

Elaine trained at LCANDCTA and holds BACP membership, which denotes affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has completed continuing professional development training, including a level 4 qualification in substance misuse and study on support for women at risk of domestic violence and abuse. Early in her career she co-authored research on addiction with a focus on problem gambling, which was presented at the BACP national research conference in 2016 and received recognition.

Her practice is rooted in person-centred, client-led work, offering a non-directive environment where the client guides the agenda. Elaine does not give homework as part of her trained approach and generally does not offer direct advice, though she may make gentle suggestions when appropriate. She offers short-term and long-term therapy and provides sessions by phone or video, working collaboratively to help clients explore their concerns and build greater understanding and resilience.

Client-Centred Care and Online Access

Elaine works primarily from a client-centred framework, which emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard and a non-directive stance. This approach encourages clients to lead sessions and explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace, often helping with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and addiction.

Alongside the person-centred ethos, Elaine offers talking therapy in a way that focuses on listening and reflection rather than prescribing solutions. This gentle, exploratory style can support people through grief, stress, anxiety and patterns like codependency or process addictions by helping them gain clarity and self-awareness.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Elaine works with each client to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as the relationship develops. For practical access she provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered professionals.
