Two years after starting therapy with Elena I can definitely say that there couldn't be a better therapist to match for myself. I believe in her and in her expertise. Suggested for people who suffers from various disabilities including FND and Fibromyalgia. She is extremely punctual, nice, goes above and beyond every single time.

More about Elena
- 6 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am an integrative psychotherapist with around six years of experience supporting clients through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I offer a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported.
I work with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, bereavement, low self-esteem, body image, eating difficulties, and emotional overwhelm. I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients, including ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, and I aim to offer a therapeutic space that is affirming, informed, and adapted to individual needs.
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic models depending on what is most helpful for you. My work is informed by humanistic, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive behavioural, somatic, and creative approaches. I may also incorporate mindfulness, breathwork, and art therapy tools where helpful.
I believe therapy should be tailored to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Some clients come with a clear difficulty they want to address, while others arrive with a more general sense of feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed. Whatever brings you here, my aim is to help you explore your experiences with greater clarity, self-understanding, and compassion.
I work with adults, adolescents, and children, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients. I offer therapy in both English and Italian.
If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, grounded, reflective, and engaged, I would be glad to support you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Elena gave me some good tools to use, and they have been working. She holds space for me
I was with my first therapist for 15 years, and after a break, I decided to start with someone new. It’s never easy to trust another professional, but with Elena it was an immediate connection. She quickly understood how to make me feel comfortable, how to talk to me, and most importantly, how to make me feel truly listened to. She guided me to express myself fully and helped me unlock parts of myself that I didn’t even know were closed off. Now, almost two years later, I can feel the change—and so can the people around me. Elena is calm, kind, and an excellent communicator. She’s always been reliable and accommodating; even with twice-weekly sessions, everything has been consistently perfect. She is a true example of resilience, and that’s a skill I never realized how much I lacked. Somehow, she managed to teach it to me in a way I could immediately apply for my own benefit. Elena has also been an incredible support in helping me manage FND and Fibromyalgia—two very challenging conditions to live with, especially at 30, only a few years after diagnosis. Therapy is one of the hardest journeys in life, but with her it feels so much easier. Honestly, I’d give her 6 out of 5 if I could. A truly special person who has made a huge difference in my life.
Elena provites a welcoming and safe space for me to sort through my issues. I have made a lot of progress since being able to talk to her.
ok
Elena has been nothing short of fantastic, understanding and patient. Can't recommend her enough.
Elena is a great therapist. She has been an incredible support, offering thoughtful insights and practical tools that have truly helped me. Her compassionate and professional approach made me feel understood and empowered in every situation.
Honestly, could not have been luckier to meet a great therapist as her! Honestly an 11 out of 10 for everything. Always going above and beyond, so patient and knowing so much how to communicate. I cannot find enough to express how happy I am about our sessions! Been almost a year now and the help she gave me is gigantic.
Elena è una professionista altamente disponibile con cui mi sono sempre trovata a mio agio fin da subito per parlare di argomenti per me molto delicati.
Elena's lovely, kind, patient and fun to chat to - it's been very easy and natural to build a rapport and feeling of safety with her which leads of open, honest and useful discussion. Elena's always been perceptive to my own contradictions - offering routes for me to reach my own conclusions. She's also very understanding when sessions need cancelling or changing.
