About Elia
Elia works with a wide range of issues including stress, parenting and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. He has particular experience supporting men recovering from difficult relationships or the effects of divorce, and individuals navigating racial and sexual identity. His background in education counselling also informs work with adults with ADHD/ADD.
Much of his practice focuses on helping people clarify personal values, strengthen boundaries and develop a healthier relationship with themselves. He also supports clients adjusting to significant life changes and managing anxieties connected to events such as COVID and wider environmental concerns.
He holds BACP, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists, and prioritises a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship alongside practical skills and strategies. Elia welcomes questions and looks forward to meeting people who are considering therapy.
Therapeutic approaches for online support and personal change
Elia draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic ideas to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore values, boundaries and self-understanding; it is helpful for building self-esteem and managing life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and support clearer coping strategies. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and patterns influence present feelings and choices, which can be useful for understanding repeating relationship difficulties and unresolved grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elia collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of relational support, skill-based work and exploration of past influence over time.
Online therapy with Elia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, family or geographical distance and make it easier to maintain consistent sessions with licensed professionals and therapists despite life’s demands.
