About Elena
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience, Elena Simona Lazar focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as self-esteem, anger and addictions. She practises Client-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Systemic Therapy. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and are intended for adults rather than children or adolescents.
Elena trained in nursing and worked as a nurse for over a decade before moving into counselling. That clinical background shaped her interest in emotional and relational wellbeing as well as physical health. She completed Counselling Level 4 and has studied several therapeutic models including Internal Family Systems and Systemic Constellations.
Her way of working is direct and collaborative. She helps people identify what they are feeling and what patterns repeat in their relationships. Sessions aim to create clarity about thoughts and emotions and to test different ways of responding to problems.
Elena uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s experience in the room. Internal Family Systems is applied to map parts of the self and to work with inner conflict. Systemic Therapy is drawn on to understand family dynamics and relationships that influence current problems.
Typical concerns she addresses include depression, coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD, grief, and addiction. She also offers practical coaching around career or motivation as part of therapy work.
People who choose her can expect a mix of talking, exploratory work on emotional patterns, and practical techniques aimed at everyday life. To start, users follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens to what matters most and reflects it back, which helps people name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for issues like stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Internal Family Systems treats inner conflict as parts of a person’s self to be understood rather than fought. It helps when someone feels pulled in different directions or when old patterns repeat, for example with addiction or attachment problems.
Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family patterns that influence how problems show up. It supports work on communication, blended family issues and recurring interaction styles that affect wellbeing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will test methods together to find what fits. That collaborative process helps shape each session and any practical techniques used.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or medical appointments, and they often allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to suit the practical needs of the client.
