Elaine Griffith

Elaine Griffith is a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She draws on a variety of counselling traditions to create an approach tailored to each person’s needs and is fully insured and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), following its code of ethics.

Her listed specialties include stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, family difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching and compassion fatigue. The listing also identifies her as a therapist of colour and a female therapist, and notes Christian, older and non-religious among related descriptors.

First-time clients can expect a confidential, safe, non-judgmental space in which to explore thoughts and feelings that have caused emotional pain, confusion or difficulty. Elaine works closely with each person to identify areas of life they want to change, to examine options and to set achievable goals. Together they shape a therapeutic plan to guide the work and support progress.

Elaine will walk alongside clients dealing with anxiety, depression or low moods, helping to explore underlying causes and work toward lasting change. She regards counselling as a privilege and values witnessing self-discovery and transformation. The process can be challenging and will include tears, laughter and discomfort, yet those moments often lead to growth.

Her practice is informed by Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychoanalysis, Solution-Focused approaches, Gestalt, Creative Therapy and Transactional Analysis, allowing her to adapt methods to suit individual needs.
