About Elle

Elle Fair is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. She works to build a trusting, compassionate relationship where people can bring what matters to them. Elle holds BACP registration, which she lists as her credential, and she has four years of experience supporting people through a range of concerns.

Elle meets people where they are and looks for ways of working that feel useful and empowering. She helps people notice and name emotions, and to understand the needs behind strong reactions like anger, shame or guilt. That practical focus can help people find steadier ground and clearer choices.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression, as well as those coping with grief, trauma and major life changes. Eating and food-related issues are among the areas she lists, alongside relationships, self-esteem and ADHD. Elle also works with concerns such as body image, communication problems and caregiver stress.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she adapts these to each person’s situation. Sessions aim to help people increase self-connection, self-care and authenticity, and to loosen unhelpful life stories that hold them back.

Elle offers a calm, attentive presence and practical guidance. She encourages people to pay attention to what they feel and to try small steps that build stability and choice. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Elle Uses Client-Centred Work and CBT Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and person. It involves active listening, acceptance and helping people feel understood so they can explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for building self-connection, working through shame or growing self-acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It often uses practical exercises and small experiments to shift patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or unhelpful eating behaviours. CBT can help with problem-solving and building new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elle aims to collaborate with each person to identify which style or mix of methods fits their needs, goals and preferences. She will offer suggestions and check in regularly to adapt the plan as things change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time, which can make regular work easier to maintain. Online working can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic or make it simpler to attend from different locations. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are arranged.
