About Eleni Ourani
As an integrative practitioner, Eleni tailors her approach to the individual's needs rather than following a single method. Her practice draws on psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences influence present patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focused on values and acceptance, and Compassion Focused Therapy which encourages greater self-understanding and kindness. This combination allows her to work both with immediate coping strategies and deeper relational or historical issues.
Eleni believes that reducing suffering often begins with changing how people relate to their thoughts and feelings as they arise. She creates a therapeutic space characterized by respect and compassion and aims to offer a place where someone can share what is happening in their life without fear of judgment. Beginning therapy can take courage, and Eleni acknowledges and supports that first step. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions by guiding values-based action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours; it offers practical strategies for managing symptoms of depression, panic, phobias and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can support work on issues like intimacy, abandonment and relationship difficulties.Determining the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eleni works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and then tailors methods from different approaches to fit the individual. This collaborative, person-centred stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or alternative contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with a registered professional.
