Elle Fair, BACP

Elle Fair is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self‑esteem and life changes. She works with people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, career questions and ADHD. Elle holds BACP registration and draws on four years of practice to guide conversations that matter.

She aims to build a trusting relationship so clients can bring what feels important to them. Sessions are one to one and designed to suit each person’s needs. Elle listens carefully and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck, then explores small, practical steps forward.

Her approach combines a client‑centred stance with cognitive behavioural techniques. That means Elle gives space for a person’s experience while also offering tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. The balance is gentle and practical rather than technical.

Elle often works with concerns around relationships, attachment and abandonment worries, blended family issues and communication problems. She also supports people facing body image struggles, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation and loneliness.

Clients can expect a calm, respectful style that encourages self‑connection and self‑acceptance. Elle helps people notice the feelings behind their reactions and find ways to express needs more clearly. Work can focus on coping strategies, changing habits, or making different choices in relationships and career.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Elle encourages testing out changes in daily life and reflecting on what works. Her aim is to help people feel more agency, steadiness and clarity as they move forward.

How Elle's approaches work online

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgement. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection to help people reconnect with their values and inner resources, which can be useful for low self‑esteem, shame, or big emotional challenges. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and managing overwhelming thoughts.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Elle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to concentrate on felt experience, skills work, or a mixture of both, and adapt the plan as things change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check‑in is needed. Live chat or text‑based messaging suits shorter reflections, ongoing coaching-style support or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel, while still getting structured therapeutic help from registered or accredited professionals.
