Elena Lanza , BACP

Elena Lanza is a counselling professional who combines empathy with clinical skill to support people through change and healing. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore difficult emotions, make sense of painful experiences, and build new ways of coping. Elena sees reaching out for help as a courageous step and aims to provide support that is tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.

Her work covers both focused problem-solving and deeper exploratory therapy, whether clients are seeking relief from acute distress or a fuller understanding of long-standing patterns. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and treats each person with respect and curiosity. Elena draws on a range of therapeutic methods to understand the origins of feelings and behaviour and to find practical pathways forward.

Elena integrates cognitive behavioural techniques with reflective approaches and creative practices such as art therapy, mindfulness, and breath work to help manage overwhelming emotions. She also uses Internal Family Systems (IFS) methods and offers integration therapy for those processing psychedelic experiences. Her clinical experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, bereavement, and neurodiversity including ADHD and autism. Elena holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and alignment with that professional body.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Elena Lanza

Elena commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal difficulties, helping clients understand issues around trust, closeness, and abandonment. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work, useful for rebuilding self-esteem and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features practical strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and everyday stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elena works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time if different techniques are needed. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and supportive for each individual.

Online therapy with Elena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to deliver tailored support in ways that suit each client’s routine and comfort.
