About Eleni
Eleni Ourani is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or big life changes. Her approach is adaptable and aimed at what each person needs in the moment.
She uses a mix of talking therapies rather than a single technique. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot thought patterns, acceptance-based work that focuses on values, mindfulness to build awareness, and psychodynamic thinking about how past experiences shape the present.
Background and approach
Eleni describes her way of working as tailored and practical. Sessions are offered in English and she provides a variety of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy often begins by talking through the immediate concerns and what a person hopes to change.
From there she and the client agree on simple, achievable steps. Eleni often helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy questions, self-esteem problems, work stress, and struggles with anxiety, panic or phobias. She also supports those dealing with grief from separation, issues around attachment and feelings of isolation or guilt.
Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to create a space where people can say what’s on their mind without judgement. The focus is on learning ways to respond differently to thoughts and feelings so life becomes more manageable.
How Eleni's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and to take small steps in that direction, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for stress, anxiety, phobias and for finding motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to shift mood and reactions; this can help with panic, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current relationships and intimacy issues, which can be useful when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or relationship conflict.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Eleni will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what to change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier if video isn’t convenient. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, notes between sessions or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and workable steps.
