About
Elaine Bell is a BACP-registered and insured counsellor based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, with 8 years of professional experience working across the charity sector and in private practice.
She completed a Foundation Degree in Counselling in 2017, an Honours Degree in Counselling and Professional Issues in 2020, and holds a Level 6 Certificate in Counselling Supervision.
Elaine is trauma-informed and has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including relationship difficulties, neurodivergence such as ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger management, self-esteem issues and spiritual exploration. She also works with matters such as anxiety, stress, addictions, parenting, career challenges, depression and coping with life changes.
Her integrative practice draws on existential, psychodynamic, person-centred and focusing-oriented approaches. She works relationally and pays close attention to emotional depth, embodied experience and the personal scripts that influence how people relate to themselves and others.
Elaine believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that many of the strengths needed to navigate life’s challenges are already present. She views the decision to seek a more authentic and fulfilling life as a courageous step and aims to support and empower clients through that process.
Important update - effective from Monday 14th April 2025: for all new clients Elaine will offer weekly phone, video and live chat sessions only. Asynchronous messaging will be limited to practical matters only - for example scheduling, sharing resources, or session-related materials. Clients may use the message space as a personal journal, but journal entries will not receive a therapeutic response. This change is intended to maintain clear boundaries and ensure that therapeutic work is contained within scheduled sessions. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing trust.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?
Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional face-to-face sessions.
A major benefit is flexibility - you can meet with a therapist in the format that suits you best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or to access support when in-person options are difficult.
Therapists offering online work are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if you feel another fit would suit you better. For many people, remote therapy provides an accessible, practical way to engage in meaningful therapeutic work without sacrificing the quality of care.
