About Elaine

Elaine Robb is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and difficulties with self-esteem. Elaine also supports clients with mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and addresses issues like codependency and attachment concerns.

She trained as a person centred counsellor and is registered with the BACP. Elaine draws on a client-centred way of working that keeps the person and their immediate needs at the centre of conversations. She pays attention to what people bring each week and follows their lead about what feels most important to talk about.

In sessions she aims to make talking straightforward. She listens, asks questions to clarify what matters, and reflects back what she hears. She does not push clients to disclose more than they want to share, and she works at a pace that suits each person.

Elaine has worked with people affected by trauma, sexual violence, domestic violence, workplace bullying and the impact of crime. She also helps with common relationship problems such as communication, infidelity and separation, and with feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame.

Practical concerns are part of the work. Elaine helps people think through decisions, manage emotions and set boundaries that feel doable. If someone is unsure how to begin, she supports them to choose the first small steps and plans for moving forward.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client's concerns, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can help when someone is stuck in people-pleasing patterns or has trouble saying no.

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at the effects of traumatic events and how they shape thoughts, feelings and relationships. It offers ways to manage strong reactions and make sense of painful memories, which can help after abuse, violence or other traumatic experiences.

Deciding on an approach is part of the work. Elaine will discuss what seems to fit and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts the focus as needs change.

Session logistics should be checked before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Confirm which formats are offered so sessions fit into daily life. Online work can make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel when that's helpful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical options to make counselling easier to attend.
