Elaine Robb , NCPS

Elaine Robb supports people who feel stuck or unable to see a clear way forward by helping them explore thoughts and emotions so they can gain clarity and make more grounded decisions.

She is a qualified person-centred counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential. Her practice draws on experience working with trauma and abuse, sexual violence, relationship difficulties, family concerns, people whose lives have been affected by crime, workplace bullying, domestic violence and low self-esteem.

Elaine aims to build an open, nonjudgmental environment where feelings and experiences can be shared honestly. She recognises that starting therapy often takes courage and may feel daunting, and she will not rush or pressure anyone to discuss things they are not ready to address. Sessions focus on whatever a person brings, working at a pace that feels safe and practical to the individual.

Client-Centred and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and support to help people explore their own values and choices. It is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating major life decisions because it prioritises the client’s perspective and pace.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing impact. This approach can help people affected by abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, workplace bullying or other forms of trauma to make sense of what happened and develop coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy and Elaine works collaboratively to identify what fits each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options and adapts her work so the client and therapist can agree the best path forward.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family commitments or mobility limits, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care even when schedules or circumstances change.
