About Elle

Elle Fair is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. She aims to build a trusting relationship where clients can bring what matters to them. Elle uses a warm, person-centred stance combined with practical tools to help people manage worry, low mood and major life changes.

She works with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem alongside relationship difficulties and family concerns. Elle also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, career questions and ADHD-related challenges.

How Elle works

Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, and problems around communication and trust. Elle blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, adjusting each session to what feels most useful. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused, with chance to reflect on feelings and try small changes between sessions.

She encourages people to notice how they respond to emotions and to experiment with different ways of coping. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful or confusing experiences. Elle aims to help clients access their own resources and make choices that give more stability and freedom.

She offers practical steps alongside listening and validation. Sessions are available online in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English. Elle holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP in her credentials.

To begin, people use the service Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then arrange sessions based on scheduling options.

How Elle’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the person leads the conversation. It helps people who need to understand their feelings better and build self-trust through steady, empathetic listening.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is more structured and looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers straightforward techniques for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits, and can be useful for people wanting concrete strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elle works collaboratively to decide whether more person-centred listening, CBT-style techniques, or a mix will work best. This is based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
