About Elle

Elle Fair is a counsellor with four years' experience who aims to build a trusting space for people feeling overwhelmed. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide a respectful, person-focused way of working. Elle focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems, and also helps with money and financial issues as they affect everyday wellbeing.

Elle encourages people to bring both present worries and past experiences into sessions. She listens without judgement and looks for ways to work together that feel empowering. Her approach is gentle and practical, with attention to what people feel as well as what they think.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting environment where people can reconnect with their own strengths. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, manageable changes in thinking and behaviour.

Elle often supports people dealing with life changes, grief, trauma, workplace strain, and difficulties around self-esteem and identity. She also addresses focused concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and communication problems.

Sessions aim to help people find more stability, choice and self-trust. Elle works collaboratively, helping people notice practical steps they can take between meetings. Her style is warm, clear and grounded in everyday language.

How Elle’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on meeting a person with acceptance and empathy. It helps people reconnect with their own strengths and make choices that feel right for them, which can be useful when managing stress, relationship worries or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to shift feelings and behaviour, which people often find useful for anxiety, depression and practical problems like workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elle will talk with each person about goals and what feels helpful, and together they decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

If you are thinking about online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Confirm whether synchronous appointments such as video or phone calls are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can attend from different locations.
