About Elena

Elena Kormalou brings 18 years of professional experience to her therapeutic work in the United Kingdom. She is accredited with the BACP, which denotes membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to recognised professional standards. Over nearly two decades she has supported people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and difficulties with concentration and memory, including work related to ADHD and autism-related concerns.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of life challenges such as caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, family and communication problems, grief and end-of-life issues, eating and food-related concerns, and feelings of isolation or lack of life purpose. She combines several evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, helping clients explore emotions, build coping skills, and regain a sense of control.

Elena aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. She recognises that beginning therapy requires courage and supports clients through that first step, working collaboratively to set goals and find practical ways to make progress. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and provides services in English.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with flexible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be especially useful for anxiety, low mood, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for issues such as depression, anxiety, and some addiction-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for staying present and observing thoughts without getting overwhelmed, which can support emotional regulation, concentration, and coping with chronic pain or stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Elena works collaboratively with each person to explore what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. This collaborative tailoring helps ensure sessions are relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to meet different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access therapy from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing support with consistent appointments and communication with licensed professionals and therapists.
