About Elaine
Elaine Doyle is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. Elaine also supports clients facing codependency, abandonment issues, communication problems and problems related to drug and alcohol use.
Elaine uses a person-centred way of working, sometimes called Client-Centred Therapy. That means sessions are led by the person coming to therapy. The client decides what to bring and where to focus. Elaine does not routinely give homework, though she may offer suggestions when helpful.
She trained at LCANDCTA and has completed continuing professional development including a level 4 qualification in substance misuse and study in supporting women in danger of domestic violence and abuse and prevention. Elaine has also co-authored research on addiction, with work on problem gambling presented at the BACP national research conference in 2016.
Elaine has been in private practice since September 2017. She offers short-term or longer-term therapy depending on what the client needs. Sessions aim to help people talk things through, develop clearer thinking about their choices, and gain practical ways to manage difficult feelings.
Sessions are carried out by phone or video through the platform. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service.
How sessions work
Client-Centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens closely and reflects back what the client says. This approach helps people who want to make sense of their feelings, improve relationships, or address patterns such as codependency and addictions.Elaine’s way of working is non-directive, so she will help you decide where to focus. She will collaborate with each client to choose the pace and priorities that fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as therapy proceeds so the approach can change if needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around everyday life and reducing travel time. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and use less bandwidth. Video sessions allow face-to-face contact when that matters for the work. The biography indicates she offers phone and video sessions via the platform, but readers should confirm the current session options before booking.
