Elle Fair, BACP

Elle Fair recognises how overwhelming life can feel and focuses on creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where people can bring the things that matter most to them. She works with both present and past concerns that continue to affect daily life, alongside supporting those facing significant changes or who wish to explore new possibilities for wellbeing and fulfilment.

Attuned to the uniqueness of each person, she aims to establish collaborative ways of working that feel empowering and genuinely helpful. Elle believes that people often hold inner resources and wisdom that can support them through difficulty, and that having a compassionate person alongside them can make it easier to access those parts of themselves.

In sessions she encourages exploration of what is important to the individual and may invite attention to felt experience as part of the process. This approach is intended to help people discover greater stability, increased freedom, clearer personal power and more choice in how they respond to life.

Elle is able to work with a wide range of needs. Areas of particular interest include supporting people to deepen self-connection, self-acceptance and self-trust; helping individuals free themselves from unhelpful life narratives; working with feelings associated with shame and the parts of life people have felt compelled to hide; and assisting with the experience of difficult-to-accept emotions such as anger, fury, rage, resentment and disgust by exploring the needs behind those responses and finding healthier ways to manage and express them. She also works with relationships of many kinds, focusing on one-to-one work rather than couples counselling, and addressing the conflicts and challenges that arise within them.

Elle Fair holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.
