About

Elena Ciortescu is a psychotherapist who supports people facing anxiety, depression, identity shifts and emotional overwhelm. She recognises how mental health challenges can unsettle a person’s sense of self and how isolating that experience can feel.

Her work is integrative and relational - she adapts therapy to each individual’s needs, drawing on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy and mindfulness while attending to personal values, lived experience and belief systems. She does not aim to “fix” someone; instead she accompanies clients as they reconnect with their strengths and what matters most to them.

Elena brings experience from private practice as well as roles in education and the charity sector, where she has supported people from diverse backgrounds. Across these settings she has seen the difference made by honest conversation, empathy and genuine curiosity in bringing about lasting change.

Others describe her as warm, thoughtful and down-to-earth, and she strives to offer a space where people can feel safe enough to explore difficult material and supported enough to grow. She also facilitates online group therapy that blends structured activities, open discussion and peer support for those who find group work helpful.

Whether someone is in the middle of a crisis or feeling stuck at a crossroads, Elena offers a place to pause, reflect and begin rebuilding. She welcomes contact from anyone seeking compassionate, clear-headed support.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy can actually help. For a range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can choose the mode of contact that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - making it simpler to fit therapy into daily life.

Licensed professionals deliver online therapy, and individuals can change therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many, the convenience and accessibility of remote sessions make it a practical and effective option for getting support.
