About Elena
Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as intimacy and eating issues.
She draws on a background in nursing alongside counselling studies to look at people as whole individuals, not just a list of symptoms. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. Clients can expect straightforward reflection, gentle challenge, and tools to reduce repeated patterns that cause distress.
Her approach mixes client-centred listening with elements from Internal Family Systems and Systemic Therapy. That means she pays attention to how different parts of a person influence feelings and how relationships shape everyday problems. She aims to help people notice recurring reactions and test small changes in how they respond.
In session she works to identify clear goals and simple steps to try between meetings. Common topics she addresses include managing anger, improving communication, rebuilding confidence, and coping with life changes such as divorce or chronic health issues. Practical techniques and dialogue are used alongside deeper work on underlying feelings.
Sessions are carried out in English and Romanian and are offered to people within the United Kingdom. Elena uses her clinical training and life experience to help clients make sense of difficult situations and take manageable steps forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on close listening and helping a person describe what matters most. Online sessions can reproduce that simple conversation so the client feels heard and understood. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts inside a person and how they interact; this can be done through dialogue and guided reflection to notice repeated emotional patterns. Systemic Therapy examines relationship dynamics and patterns that play out in family or work settings, helping people test small changes in how they relate to others.Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each client and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process is used to shape each plan rather than committing to one method from the start.
The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Many people find it easier to attend from home or between commitments, and online meetings can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to manage. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they suit your schedule and needs.
