About Eila

Eila Ghrayeb works on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and a wide range of other concerns using conversations aimed at clearer understanding and practical steps for change. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience.

Eila listens to what is difficult and helps people identify values and priorities. She works with intrusive thoughts, unwanted habits and emotion regulation by helping people notice patterns and try different responses. Practical skills and reflective discussion are used alongside longer conversation about past experiences when needed.

Her caseload has included relationship breakdown, depression, eating problems, grief and loss, addictions and adjusting to life changes. She has worked with people who report histories of childhood abuse and with those given diagnoses such as bipolar or borderline personality difficulties. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD and a range of social challenges including homelessness and substance misuse.

Eila describes herself as an integrative psychotherapist and draws on specific approaches where helpful. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centred methods. She uses these approaches to support clearer decision-making and changes in behaviour.

She can offer a listening place for people for whom faith is an important part of life and will include that aspect in sessions when requested. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients, working from the United Kingdom.

How her approaches are used in remote counselling

Eila commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches in her work. ACT involves noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, unwanted habits and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and earlier connections, and helps people understand how these patterns shape current behaviour and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches may be combined or adjusted as sessions progress.

If you want to use online counselling, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into daily life by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements and any preferences for conversation style when you first book so sessions can be planned to suit your circumstances.
