About Eleni
Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger and trauma-related difficulties. She also supports clients facing workplace problems, relationship strain, low self-esteem and addiction-related concerns.
She trained in psychology at the University of Derby, holding a BSc (Hons) in Psychology. Her approach is person-centred, which means sessions focus on the client's perspective and priorities. She uses this alongside mindfulness and somatic ideas to help people notice how thoughts, feelings and the body interact.
In sessions she talks through practical ways to manage strong emotions and recurring reactions. That can include grounding techniques, breathing and body awareness to reduce tension, and simple mindfulness exercises to interrupt reactive patterns. She also offers trauma-focused methods when past harm affects day-to-day life.
Her style is interactive and respectful. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people make sense of what they are experiencing. She works with issues such as guilt, shame, communication problems, isolation and compassion fatigue in addition to core concerns like anger and post-traumatic stress.
People who choose her often want clear, practical steps alongside reflective listening. She asks questions, offers psychoeducation, and helps clients practise skills between sessions. To start, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centred work focuses on what the client brings and the topics they want to address. The therapist listens, reflects and helps people identify their priorities and strengths. Mindfulness therapy uses simple awareness practices to help reduce reactivity and build steadier attention during stressful moments. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily responses - tension, breath and posture - so clients can notice and alter physical patterns linked to anger and anxiety.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options with each person and suggest practices to try. Together they review what helps and what does not, and adapt the plan based on the client's goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practise grounding and breathing where they live, then bring those experiences back into sessions for discussion and adjustment.
