Integrative psychotherapist focused on compassion

Eleni Ourani is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings 9 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She supports people coping with a wide range of difficulties, including depression, low motivation, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, procrastination, relationship problems, stress, sadness and life transitions.
As an integrative psychotherapist, she adapts her methods to fit the needs and preferences of each person she works with. Her practice is informed by several established approaches, including Psychodynamic work that explores how past experiences influence the present, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (working with values and improving the relationship with the self), and Compassion Focused Therapy which aims to cultivate greater understanding and kindness toward oneself.
Eleni places importance on how individuals relate and respond to thoughts and feelings as they arise, believing that strengthening that relationship can reduce suffering. She frames the therapeutic space as somewhere that can offer comfort and safety, or simply a place to share what is happening in life without worrying about others' reactions.
She welcomes clients with respect and compassion and recognises that taking the first step into therapy requires courage. She is encouraging of anyone beginning that process and is committed to supporting them as they get started.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can actually help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, online therapy has been demonstrated to be as effective as traditional in-person counselling for most situations.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
All therapists providing online sessions are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy offers practical access to skilled support while preserving the same core elements of therapeutic work found in face-to-face settings.
