About
Hello, I’m Elaine.
A counsellor who believes being truly listened to is rarer — and more powerful — than most of us realise.
I work with adults who are carrying something — grief, anxiety, a loss, a decision, or a pattern that keeps circling back — and who want a steady, confidential place to make sense of it.
[DRAFT BIO — to be written with Elaine.] This is placeholder copy in Elaine’s voice, ready to be replaced with her real background, training and approach. It’s deliberately short and warm: this audience responds to a real person, not a wall of credentials.
How I work
My approach is collaborative and unhurried. Some people come with a clear question; many arrive simply feeling that something isn’t right. Both are fine. We start where you are and let the work find its shape.
Training & accreditation

What you can expect
Four things I hold to, every session.
-
You lead
This is your hour. I follow your pace and your priorities — never a script.
-
Real confidentiality
What’s said here stays here, within clear professional and legal limits we’ll talk through together.
-
No performing
You don’t have to arrive polished or know what to say. Half-formed is perfectly welcome.
-
Human, not clinical
Warmth first. I’m a person in the room with you, not a blank wall.
