About Elena

Elena Dinu offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or life changes. She helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, addictions, eating difficulties, grief, and problems with sleep, anger or self-esteem. Elena explains things plainly and focuses on what can change now.

Her tone is practical and compassionate. Elena has more than 22 years of practice as a psychotherapist and practitioner psychologist in the United Kingdom and Romania.

Background and approach

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the British Psychological Society, the College of Psychologists of Romania, the Romanian Institute of Integrative Psychotherapy, and the Romanian Federation of Psychotherapy. Those roles reflect long experience rather than a single way of working.

In sessions she aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space that makes it easier to talk about difficult things. Conversations focus on the person in front of her and on practical steps to manage symptoms and everyday challenges. She listens for patterns and helps people try different ways of responding.

Elena draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She works collaboratively to set goals and to review what helps over time. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with room for emotional processing and practical coaching.

She speaks English and Romanian and has worked with people from varied backgrounds. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

What Elena works with

Everything Elena lists, in their own terms.

How Elena works online

Elena uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and then try small experiments to test new ways of coping. This can ease anxiety, low mood and stress by changing day-to-day habits. Another approach she draws on supports emotional processing through guided conversation and coaching. It helps people make sense of grief, trauma or relationship difficulties and to strengthen coping skills for parenting, work and life transitions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elena will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses to keep things useful and focused. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and maintain continuity when schedules change. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that suit a quieter time during the day, depending on the format you arrange with the therapist.
