About Elaine
Elaine McQueen is a counsellor with 10 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low, or overwhelmed. Elaine also supports those dealing with addiction, grief and loss, and relationship concerns.
She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Her way of working is practical and client-centred. Elaine listens first and adapts conversations to what each person brings.
Background and approach
Together they build a plan tailored to the person’s needs and circumstances. Sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive. Elaine has worked across a range of common life challenges.
These include anger, parenting strain, changes at work, self-esteem issues, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps people facing trauma, sexual assault and abuse, and addiction-related problems. She pays attention to smaller but important experiences too, such as feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, jealousy, and difficulty with commitment.
Elaine has additional focus on autism and Asperger syndrome, ageing and geriatric issues, and attachment difficulties. Her BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Elaine invites anyone taking the first step to reach out and start a conversation about what they need and what might help.

How Elaine works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elaine will talk with each person about their goals, history and preferences and then suggest methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the available session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or daily life and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-in appointments when needed, and for audio-only conversations if video is not suitable. Discuss practical arrangements with Elaine when you book so sessions fit your routine and needs.
