About
Hello, I’m Elin.
I’ve worked as a counsellor for twelve years, first in a GP surgery and a hospice, and now in private practice. I see adults of all ages, from students to people in their eighties.
Before training I was a primary school teacher, which taught me a lot about patience, and about how much people can carry without saying a word.
My approach
Led by you, shaped by what helps.
My training is integrative. That means I draw on a few approaches rather than one: mostly person-centred work, with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy when they are useful.
In practice, you set the pace. Some weeks we look closely at a single moment; other weeks we step back and notice patterns. I’ll be honest with you, and I’ll check in regularly about whether our work is helping.
Training and memberships
Qualified, insured and supervised.
Every counsellor in the UK should be happy to tell you this. Here is mine.
