About Elaine
Elaine Robb helps people who feel stuck or unsure how to move forward. She works in a person-centred way, inviting clients to talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Elaine is registered with the NCPS and has three years' experience.
Elaine offers straightforward, conversational counselling. She listens for what matters most and follows the client's lead rather than imposing a set agenda. Sessions focus on practical clarity to support decision making and everyday coping.
Her work includes support for stress, anxiety, depression and bipolar experiences. She also helps people affected by trauma and abuse, domestic violence, sexual violence and workplace bullying. Relationship and family problems, separation and infidelity are other common topics she addresses.
Elaine pays attention to issues that can underlie distress, such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, control and communication problems. She also supports people struggling with guilt, shame, dissociation, body image and feelings of emptiness.
She aims to make starting counselling straightforward. Elaine says she will not rush clients or pressure them to speak about anything they do not want to discuss. Sessions work with whatever the person brings to the room, and progress is paced by the client's comfort and goals.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. It involves reflective listening, open questions and supporting the client's own choices; this is useful for discussing life decisions, relationships and self-esteem issues.
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to the impacts of traumatic events and helps people to process difficult memories and responses. It can be helpful for those affected by abuse, domestic violence or events that continue to cause distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each client. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree on a way of working together. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need a quieter setting for the conversation.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
