Elena Simona Lazar, BACP

Elena Simona Lazar is a United Kingdom based therapist with six years of professional counselling experience and a background of more than a decade working as a nurse. Her nursing career prompted a deeper curiosity about the emotional and relational aspects of wellbeing, and she has since trained in a broad range of therapeutic methods to support people through personal and interpersonal challenges.

She holds BACP credentials - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on both formal training and practical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting and career challenges, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses areas such as abandonment, attachment and personality-related difficulties, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Her therapeutic approach is client-centered and flexible, combining Internal Family Systems and systemic perspectives with techniques from CBT, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Voices Dialogue, Sedona Method and Systemic Constellations. She adapts interventions to each person or family, aiming to create a respectful, open space where feelings and patterns can be explored and understood. Sessions focus on building clarity about experience, working gently with painful emotions, strengthening self-relationship and improving family or couple dynamics while offering practical ways to enhance daily functioning.

Elena provides therapy in English and Romanian. She is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
