About Elaine
Elaine Robb is a counsellor who supports people feeling stuck or unsure about next steps in life. She offers calm, patient listening to help people untangle their thoughts and feelings and make decisions they feel clearer about. Elaine holds the NCPS credential, which appears with her name as provided.
She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Elaine uses a person-centred way of working. That means she focuses on the client's experience and follows the pace they set in sessions.
How Elaine works
She aims to create an open space where people can talk without pressure and bring whatever feels important to them. She also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm or abuse is part of someone's story. Those approaches focus on understanding how distressing events affect thoughts and feelings now, and on steps to reduce their ongoing impact.
Elaine has particular experience supporting people facing relationship problems, family conflict, workplace bullying, domestic violence, and sexual violence. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression and bipolar-related concerns. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and intimacy struggles, body image, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions are run at a pace chosen by the client, without pressure to disclose more than they want. Elaine aims to partner with each person, helping them build clearer thinking and more reliable ways to cope with life changes and painful memories.

How Elaine's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the heart of the work. It involves active listening, reflecting what the person says, and following their pace so they feel understood and not rushed. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings about relationships, life changes or low self-esteem.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past distressing events affect present thoughts, feelings and reactions. It offers ways to process those memories and reduce their hold on daily life, which can help with symptoms like anxiety, dissociation or strong emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elaine will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first, tailoring methods to goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging let people check in between longer sessions or have shorter conversations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping continuity of care.
