About Elena
Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns among the areas she works with, along with issues such as self-esteem, addiction and coping with life changes.
Elena uses her background in nursing and counselling study to help people talk through difficult moments.

Sessions aim to bring clarity about thoughts and feelings and to identify practical steps forward.

She uses techniques intended to improve daily functioning and emotional understanding.
Elena works in English and Romanian and she supports people with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, career problems, grief, anger, intimacy-related issues and long-term health challenges. She also notes work with addictions, ADHD and body image concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Elena draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Systemic Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person find their own understanding of what they feel and want to change. It suits people who want a conversational, non-directive style.Internal Family Systems looks at different parts inside a person that hold emotions or reactions. It can help when a person feels stuck with recurring patterns like self-criticism, avoidance or intense worry. Systemic Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how they affect feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for concerns that play out across family or couple interactions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Elena will discuss options and test what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting methods as sessions progress so the person feels the approach is helpful.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking so you know how a meeting will take place. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health commitments, and they can allow shorter check-ins or not using video when that is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals often offer online options to help therapy fit into everyday life.
