About Elena
Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings six years of professional experience and a background in nursing to her therapeutic work. She speaks English and Romanian and offers sessions from the United Kingdom.
Her approach is practical and people-centred. She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most. Sessions focus on understanding feelings, improving relationships, and finding steps that help day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Elena uses system-focused ways of working alongside client-centred methods and Internal Family Systems ideas. That means she looks at how relationships and inner parts shape problems and works with the person to find useful changes. She adapts techniques to each person rather than applying one fixed method.
She commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related problems. She also supports people dealing with career stresses, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and body image issues. Sessions may include practical exercises, talking through patterns that repeat in life, and steps to restore motivation and confidence.
Her nursing background informs a calm, attentive style and a focus on both emotional and everyday impacts. She encourages small, achievable changes that can make life feel more manageable.

Online support
How Elena uses systemic and person-centred methods online
Elena draws on Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and everyday systems affect a person’s difficulties. That approach helps with problems that involve repeated patterns in family life, couples, work dynamics or social roles by mapping how behaviour and feelings move between people.She also works in a Client-Centred way, offering acceptance, attentive listening and collaborative goal-setting. This helps when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to sort through emotions and build confidence. Elena brings ideas from Internal Family Systems to notice inner parts or sub-personalities, which can be useful for understanding self-criticism, shame or conflicting wants.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Elena will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online sessions can be easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between calls. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and health needs.
