About Elena
Elena Harvey-Kummer is a UK-based counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers support for anger, life changes and coaching around motivation and purpose. Elena works with practical concerns like communication, body image and feelings of isolation.
Elena treats each person as the expert in their own life. She focuses on building a collaborative relationship and offering clear tools to use between sessions. Conversations are grounded and straightforward, aimed at small, manageable changes that fit into daily life.
Her practice uses an integrative approach. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred techniques and Psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to individual needs. This mix lets her address unhelpful thinking, present-day patterns and the influence of past experiences.
She also brings Existential and Solution-Focused ideas into her work. These methods help people clarify values, set short-term goals and find practical steps forward. Coaching-style techniques are used when clients want structured plans for change.
Elena has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. She works with people across a range of life and work stresses and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally. If the approach feels right, the next step is to start a short matching process and arrange a session.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the conversation. It helps when someone needs a listening space to understand feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it teaches ways to test thoughts and try small experiments in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elena will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That usually involves talking about what you want to change, trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting as needed. The process is collaborative rather than prescriptive.
