Elaine Campbell , BACP

Elaine Campbell brings 15 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She is a BACP counsellor who focuses on practical support for people facing big life changes. Elaine writes straightforward goals with each person and adapts sessions to their needs.

Elaine works with people dealing with grief, depression and addictions. She also helps those struggling with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, low self-esteem and career shifts. Trauma and compassion fatigue are part of her caseload too.

Her approach is adaptable and people-centred. She offers a calm space to talk things through and listens for the issues that matter most to the individual. Sessions aim to make small, usable changes and to build clearer coping habits.

Elaine uses elements of Client-Centred, Existential and Mindfulness approaches to shape the work. That means she pays attention to a person's values and everyday experience, and uses mindful skills to manage strong feelings. Conversations cover practical steps as well as underlying meaning and choices.

People often come with complex issues such as body image, chronic illness, family of origin problems or substance misuse. Elaine will discuss what matters to the person and offer a plan that reflects their situation and goals. She welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How Elaine’s approaches work online

Elaine uses Client-Centred and Mindfulness approaches to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead, which helps when people need practical emotional support. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and help with mood, stress and coping.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and Elaine treats that as a conversation. She will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as the work progresses. This is a collaborative way to make sure sessions remain useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
