Elaine Robb , NCPS

Elaine Robb is a person-centred counsellor who supports people feeling stuck or unsure about their next steps. She works to help individuals explore thoughts and emotions so they can gain clarity and make decisions that feel right for them. With training reflected by her NCPS credential and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she draws on a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to guide clients through difficult experiences.

Elaine has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse, including sexual violence, domestic violence, and workplace bullying, as well as those whose lives have been impacted by crime. She also assists clients dealing with relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, and the emotional consequences of separation or other life changes. Her practice prioritises creating an open space where feelings and concerns can be shared without pressure.

Recognising that beginning therapy often takes courage, Elaine moves at a pace that feels safe for each person and avoids pushing anyone to discuss topics they are not ready to address. Sessions focus on whatever the client brings, allowing the therapeutic work to develop collaboratively and at a comfortable rhythm.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Support Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and respect for each person's individual pace. Elaine creates a supportive space where the client's own goals and values guide the work, which can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping people process painful memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. This approach is suited to those coping with abuse, domestic violence, or other forms of trauma and can be tailored to the person's readiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elaine works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, support continuity when schedules change, and allow people to engage from locations that are convenient for them.
