Elaine Macgregor, BACP

Elaine Macgregor is a trained integrative counsellor who adapts therapeutic methods to suit each person's needs, drawing on a person-centered foundation to guide her work. With four years of clinical experience, she supports adults through depression, anxiety, loss, life transitions and a wide range of mental health and relational concerns. Her practice places particular emphasis on relationship dynamics - helping clients explore patterns, understand attachment responses and build self-awareness so they can create healthier, more fulfilling connections.

Elaine is passionate about personal growth and works with people to rediscover or develop a truer sense of self that enables a more wholehearted, authentic life. She also addresses issues such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, parenting and grief, alongside other areas including intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and career or caregiver stress. Her additional focus includes abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency and communication difficulties.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - a professional body that sets standards and ethical guidance for practice. Elaine is available for short- or long-term work with adults aged 18 and over, maintains ongoing supervision and professional development, and also offers clinical supervision and counselling tutoring. She provides therapy in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients.
