Elena Harvey-Kummer, BACP

Elena Harvey-Kummer is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and questions of self-esteem, confidence, and motivation. She works from the belief that each person is the expert in their own life and that existing strengths can be mobilised to face difficult moments. Her role is to offer attentive support, practical tools, and thoughtful guidance as clients explore changes they want to make.

Elena practices in an integrative way, tailoring evidence-informed techniques to the needs of each individual rather than applying a single method to everyone. In therapy she aims to provide a warm, collaborative space where clients can reflect on thoughts and feelings, gain new perspectives, and take manageable steps toward growth. Her approach draws on several established methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help reframe unhelpful thinking patterns, client-centred work to foster a respectful and collaborative relationship, psychodynamic ideas to examine how earlier experiences influence present behaviour, and existential themes to support exploration of meaning and purpose. She also incorporates coaching techniques to promote lasting change.

Elena holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body in the UK. She offers therapy in English and works with clients both in the United Kingdom and internationally.
