Eleni Chimarrides

Eleni Chimarrides is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She trained in psychology and brings a kind, interactive style to sessions. Eleni aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Her approach suits people wanting a down-to-earth therapist who listens and responds to what matters to them.

In practice Eleni uses a person-centred way of working that looks at emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual needs together. She also draws on mindfulness techniques and somatic ideas to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. Trauma-focused thinking is part of her work when past events are still affecting day-to-day life.

Typical concerns she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or workplace difficulties. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, anger, addiction, compassion fatigue and the specific pressures many women face.

Therapy sessions are conversational and collaborative. Eleni offers psychoeducation when helpful and adapts her pace to each person's needs. The goal is to help people feel more able to cope, make changes and recognise their own strengths.

People who prefer a warm, respectful and practical counsellor may find her approach helpful. Prospective clients can expect a focus on everyday strategies alongside deeper work when needed. If readers want to check session options, they should confirm the current formats before booking.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and supporting people to find their own solutions. It helps when someone wants a respectful space to talk and to feel heard. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and ease anxiety symptoms. These techniques are practical and can be used between sessions to manage stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can include trying an idea and adjusting it if it does not fit.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to continue work across life changes. It can reduce travel time and help people keep appointments during work or family commitments. Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer ways to make sessions practical, such as shorter check-ins or techniques you can use between meetings.
