Elena Simona Lazar, BACP

Elena Simona Lazar is a counsellor who draws on six years of experience and a background in nursing. She works in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Romanian. Elena is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem. Her nursing years shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach. She aims to make sessions a place where people can speak without fear of judgement. Elena helps people find clarity about their feelings and build inner strength to face difficult life situations. In sessions she uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to look at different parts of a person and how they interact. Systemic therapy influences her thinking about patterns in relationships and family life. Elena works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating worries, parenting stress, career problems and coping with life changes. She also offers support around abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency and chronic illness related stress. Her style is practical and compassionate. Sessions aim to explore painful emotions gently, identify repeating patterns and practise techniques that can improve day-to-day life. People who want a supportive space to make changes may find this approach helpful.

How Elena's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy centres on attentive listening and responding to what the client brings. It aims to help people feel heard and to build their own solutions, which can suit many issues from low self-esteem to anxiety. Internal Family Systems looks at different parts inside a person and how they relate to one another. It can help people understand conflicting feelings and work with trauma, addiction or strong self-criticism. Systemic Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and family dynamics. It is useful when problems repeat across relationships or when family roles and communication are causing strain. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Elena works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the work over time as clearer priorities emerge. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by removing travel time or allowing a quicker check-in during a work break.
