Elena Simona Lazar, BACP

Elena Simona Lazar is a BACP-registered therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She draws on more than a decade of work as a nurse to bring a compassionate, whole-person perspective to counselling, combining practical understanding of health with psychological insight. Elena creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood, and she adapts her approach to match each person’s needs.

Her work covers relationship and couple difficulties, family conflict, intimacy-related concerns, grief, anger management, motivation and self-esteem. Elena has supported people navigating depression, anxiety, addiction and challenges at work or within the family, as well as those coping with health or financial stressors and low self-confidence. She emphasises clarity about experience, gentle exploration of painful emotions and practical techniques that can improve day-to-day life.

Elena has completed Counselling Level 4 training and studied a range of therapeutic models including Internal Family Systems (IFS), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), the Sedona Method, systemic constellations, transactional analysis, Gestalt and Voice Dialogue. As a BACP member - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she integrates these methods flexibly to help clients access their own strengths and develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. Elena works in English and Romanian and centres each person’s needs at the heart of her practice.
