About Elena
Elena Harvey-Kummer helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and major life changes. She works with issues such as anger, motivation, and coping when life feels out of control. Elena uses a conversational, straightforward style to help clients feel heard and able to take practical steps forward.
Elena has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She draws on several therapeutic approaches rather than relying on a single method. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs most in the moment. Her work is collaborative and client-led.
She treats people as experts in their own lives and offers tools, reflection and structured techniques to make changes. Therapy can include talking through unhelpful thoughts, exploring past experiences that affect daily life, and finding clearer personal goals. Elena tailors her style to practical outcomes as well as emotional understanding.
That can mean short-term problem solving or slower exploration of deeper patterns. She also blends coaching elements when clients want focused change or accountability. Clients come for a mix of emotional support and hands-on strategies.
Elena aims to help people build insight, develop healthier habits, and reconnect with what matters to them. If the approach feels right, she invites prospective clients to begin with a short matching process and a first session to plan next steps.

How Elena works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress and can include homework tasks to practice new ways of thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elena will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That may mean using client-centred listening to start, then adding CBT techniques or psychodynamic reflection where useful.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client's schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective talk and practical homework to work well across distance, and your therapist will discuss what works best for you during the first meeting.
