Elena Dinu , BACP

Elena Dinu is a Practitioner Psychologist and Psychotherapist with more than 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and Romania. She brings years of clinical practice and a deeply developed sense of empathy to each therapeutic relationship, aiming to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and life stories.

Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - an organization that sets professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK - she combines practical therapeutic skills with a patient-centered approach. Her work emphasizes building lasting, trusting relationships that allow clients to explore challenges and develop lasting strategies for change.

Elena creates a welcoming, non-judgmental environment that encourages open conversation and honest reflection. She prioritizes attentive, compassionate care and supports individuals through a range of life issues, taking time to understand each person’s needs and goals. Her professional commitment is reflected in careful listening, thoughtful intervention, and a steady focus on helping people move toward greater wellbeing.

Across her practice she aims to offer consistent support and collaborative guidance, helping clients feel understood and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Elena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce distress and improve decision-making. These approaches help people gain clarity about how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour, and equip them with practical tools to manage everyday challenges and emotional reactions.

She also employs skills-focused work that teaches coping strategies for emotion regulation, stress management, and behaviour change. This type of work is practical and action-oriented, helping clients build routines and responses that support long-term wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elena works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy remains a good fit. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most helpful and to shape the pace and focus of sessions together.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to access therapy from different locations, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interactions to each client’s preferences.
