About Elena
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. Elena Harvey-Kummer supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, anger and depression. She also helps with coping through life changes and offers coaching to aid motivation and practical change.
Elena works from the view that each person knows their own story. She treats clients as active partners and listens for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical tools, clearer thinking, and small steps that fit everyday life.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centred Therapy guides the working relationship, keeping conversations collaborative and respectful.
She may also use Psychodynamic and Existential ideas to look at how past experiences and questions of meaning affect present behaviour. Solution-Focused techniques can be used for short-term goals and targeted change.
Elena aims to help people gain insight and try workable strategies between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented when that is useful. Prospective clients are advised to confirm current session options before booking.

How Elena uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client clarify goals and priorities in their life. This approach supports people dealing with low self-esteem, relationship strain, or uncertainty about next steps.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It involves noticing patterns, testing unhelpful beliefs and practising different ways of responding. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress and low mood and can produce concrete steps to try between sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Elena will discuss what feels most useful and test methods collaboratively. She adapts the mix of approaches to the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than using one fixed model.
The therapist's original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example shorter check-ins at a break, avoiding travel time, or having sessions without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical options help maintain consistency of care.
