Elaine Griffith, BACP

Elaine Griffith is a humanistic integrative counsellor who combines techniques from several therapeutic traditions to match each client's individual needs. She tailors her work to the person in front of her, drawing on an integrative approach that adapts to what will best support change and personal insight.

She is fully insured and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and follows its professional code of conduct. New clients can expect a personal, safe, and non-judgmental space in which to explore feelings, thoughts, and experiences that are causing emotional pain, confusion, or difficulty.

Elaine works closely with clients to identify areas of life they would like to change, then explores options and choices together. She supports people in clarifying goals and creating a therapeutic plan to guide their progress. Elaine accompanies clients through anxiety, depression, low mood, and other challenges, helping to explore root causes and practical steps toward greater wellbeing.

Elaine describes counselling as both an honour and a privilege, having seen many people transform their lives through self-discovery. The therapeutic process can involve moments of discomfort alongside laughter and tears, and she frames that difficulty as part of the pathway to growth and change.

Her practice is informed by a range of approaches, including Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychoanalysis, Solution-Focused approaches, Gestalt, Creative Therapy, and Transactional Analysis, enabling a flexible, person-focused way of working.
