About Elena

Elena Simona Lazar works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns using Client-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Systemic Therapy. She is a BACP counsellor and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Elena draws on her background as a nurse and subsequent counselling training to combine practical attention with talking-based therapy. Sessions focus on helping people understand feelings, spot repeated patterns, and work through painful emotions. She explains things simply and aims to help clients gain clarity about what they experience.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including anger, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, parenting and career matters. She also supports people facing depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD related difficulties. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Elena uses Internal Family Systems to help clients map inner parts and how they relate to one another. She applies Systemic Therapy ideas when working through family and relationship patterns. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her style, keeping the focus on the person and their immediate experience. These approaches are woven together in ways she believes suit each client.

Sessions are offered in English and Romanian. Elena works with people on practical steps such as improving communication, setting boundaries, managing cravings and building confidence. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on the person and their experience, helping clients talk through thoughts and feelings and find practical next steps. It suits people who want a conversational, reflective approach to managing stress, low mood or self-esteem.

Internal Family Systems helps map internal parts and how they interact, which can be useful for issues such as trauma, addiction, or difficult relationship patterns. It often involves noticing inner voices and working with them gently to reduce conflict.

Systemic Therapy looks at patterns between people and within family systems, focusing on how relationships and roles influence problems like communication breakdown or blended family tensions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats the counsellor currently offers. The biography does not list session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches translate well to a remote setting because they focus on dialogue and guided reflection, which can be done across video or phone when those formats are available.
