About Eleni
Eleni Ourani is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem difficulties. Eleni aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful for anyone who reaches out.
Eleni adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. She draws on several ways of working including cognitive behavioural work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening.
How Eleni works
These approaches shape short, practical tools and also deeper conversations about history and relationships. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. That may mean learning skills to manage panic or phobias, talking through relationship and intimacy-related concerns, or looking at career stress and motivation.
Eleni also supports people dealing with loneliness, grief around separation, body image and sexual difficulties. Her way of working mixes practical exercises with reflective conversation. Clients can expect clear small steps between sessions and a calm space to try things out.
Eleni pays attention to how people relate to their thoughts and feelings and to patterns that repeat across time. If someone is unsure where to begin, Eleni helps them clarify their goals and pick a focus to start with. She welcomes questions about therapy style and works to create a respectful, compassionate environment.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small changes that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours through simple, structured exercises to reduce symptoms like panic or phobic responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from past relationships and how these affect current connections and communication; it can help with intimacy-related concerns and attachment issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That might mean combining short practical exercises with longer conversations about history and relationships, and adjusting methods as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together, phone sessions can fit into busy days or require less data, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
