Elia Duncan, BACP

Elia Duncan is a UK-based psychotherapist who has supported people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and sexualities for more than 16 years, including eight years working in private practice in London, East Sussex and internationally. He holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings that training and experience to work with individuals facing complex emotional challenges.

Elia works with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and confidence concerns. His specialist work includes supporting men healing after difficult relationships or the effects of divorce, and helping people who are struggling with racial or sexual identity. Drawing on prior experience in education counselling, he also works with adults with ADHD or ADD.

Much of Elia's practice focuses on helping people clarify their values, set and maintain healthy boundaries, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves. He supports clients as they adjust to major life changes and seeks practical ways to foster resilience and steadiness in the face of challenges such as the ongoing effects of COVID, climate-related worries and broader societal anxiety.

Elia places a high value on a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship alongside evidence-informed skills and approaches. He is available to answer questions about whether his practice is a fit for a particular concern and to discuss how he might work with an individual's needs.
