Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options

Elena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine reflective exploration with practical skill-building. One strand of her work focuses on exploring patterns and personal history to better understand current difficulties - this helps people gain insight into how past experiences shape present responses and relationships. Another strand emphasises skills-focused interventions, teaching practical coping strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, stress, sleep problems, or urges related to addiction.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Elena works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses to suit changing needs and priorities.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to consistent support. These options allow people to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and make it simpler to continue care when circumstances change. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective, evidence-based work through these channels, helping clients make steady progress from wherever they are.
