About Elaine
Elaine Doyle helps people facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. She works with a wide range of related concerns including abandonment, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, drug and alcohol issues, process addictions, and questions about sexuality and self-love. Elaine uses a calm, person-centred way of working to support people through difficult moments.
Elaine trained at LCANDCTA and holds a BACP credential, and she has seven years of professional experience.
Background and approach
She has specialist continuing professional development in substance misuse and supporting women at risk of domestic violence. She also co-authored research on problem gambling that was presented at the BACP national research conference in 2016. Her approach is client-led and non-directive.
Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room, with the counsellor offering reflections and occasional suggestions rather than advice. This style aims to help people understand their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Elaine has worked in independent practice since September 2017.
She offers both short-term and longer-term work depending on individual needs, and she emphasises the value of the therapeutic relationship in helping people move through stuck patterns and find greater ease. She runs sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options via the platform's matching process.

How Elaine works online
In practice, that means sessions are shaped by each person's aims. Elaine will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, and she will adjust the pace and focus as needs change. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be agreed together rather than imposed.
The biography states she offers phone sessions and video sessions, so please confirm the current options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by using a shorter check-in while on a break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow people to choose the setting that suits them best and to continue therapy when circumstances make face-to-face meetings difficult.
