About Elena
Elena Dinu is a BACP counsellor with 22 years of experience working in the United Kingdom and Romania. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, parenting pressures, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career challenges, coping with life changes, coaching needs and compassion fatigue.
She focuses on building a reliable therapeutic relationship as the base for change. Sessions are practical and straightforward. Conversations aim to clarify what is happening now and identify achievable steps a person can try between meetings.
Her background includes long experience in psychological and therapeutic services in both countries and professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This combination shapes a practice that draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic methods while remaining practical in its focus.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try alternative ways of responding. Work can include thinking about thoughts and behaviours, stress management, addressing relationship patterns, and building coping skills for grief and trauma reactions.
Elena speaks English and Romanian. International clients are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered by the service so you know which options are available.

Approaches you may use with online counselling
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques can look different in practice. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps with worry, panic and negative self-beliefs. Another approach works on changing unhelpful behaviour patterns by setting small, practical steps and tracking progress; this can assist with addictions, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first, based on current needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process may lead to adjusting methods as people learn what helps them most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may be useful when bandwidth is limited, while video sessions allow visual cues and a fuller conversational exchange. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match a format to practical needs and daily routines.
