Elle Fair, BACP

Elle Fair works with people who feel overwhelmed by what life is asking of them, offering a calm, steady presence to help make sense of difficult feelings and experiences. She creates a trusting environment where clients can bring both recent challenges and long-standing issues that continue to affect daily life. Her practice supports those facing major transitions, seeking greater wellbeing, or exploring new possibilities for fulfilment.

Elle believes each person carries internal resources and wisdom, and that a compassionate professional by one’s side can help those parts become more accessible. She encourages clients to notice what they feel in the moment and to explore the needs behind their emotional responses, which can lead to greater stability, freedom, and choice.

She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, and career issues. Areas of additional focus include attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, infidelity, loneliness, guilt and shame, and impulsivity.

Elle uses an empowering, person-focused approach that supports self-connection, self-acceptance, and authenticity. She combines this with practical strategies when helpful, tailoring ways of working to each individual so sessions feel useful, respectful, and empowering. Elle holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience, with the therapist offering empathy, respect, and nonjudgemental attention so clients can explore their feelings and values. This approach helps with self-esteem, identity, relationship concerns, and finding personal meaning in life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and uses practical techniques to adjust unhelpful patterns. CBT can be particularly useful for anxiety, low mood, stress, and learning coping strategies that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Elle works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on client-centered work to build safety and understanding, and introduces CBT strategies when practical skills may support progress.

Online therapy with Elle is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while travelling, support continuity of care across locations, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most accessible for them. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt these modes to provide effective, ongoing support tailored to each individual.
