About Eleni
Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology at the University of Derby and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to treat everyone with sensitivity and respect.
She uses a person-centred approach, looking at emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual needs together. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, and on helping them feel able to make choices that suit their life.
Background and approach
Techniques from mindfulness and somatic work are used when they fit the client’s goals. Many clients come for help with grief, low self-esteem, anger and relationship difficulties. Eleni also supports people coping with workplace strain, compassion fatigue and issues tied to discrimination.
She includes trauma-focused approaches for those affected by past harm and overwhelming events. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Eleni offers psychoeducation when it helps people understand patterns and responses.
She strives to help people build skills for managing anxiety, processing grief and improving communication. People who prefer a gentle, respectful and down-to-earth style may find her approach helpful. She encourages clients to explore their own strengths and to become confident in making changes that suit their daily life.

How Eleni works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying mindfulness exercises, gentle somatic techniques or trauma-focused methods and checking in about what feels helpful.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and keeping therapy in a familiar part of the day. If you are thinking about online options, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what will be offered. Registered or accredited professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to an online setting and support steady progress over time.
