Elle Fair

Elle Fair is a counsellor with four years of practice supporting people through hard seasons. She aims to build trusting working relationships where clients can bring what matters to them and be heard without judgement.

Elle helps with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, life changes, career doubts and ADHD-related challenges. Narcissism is one of the topics listed among her areas of interest.

Her way of working is person-centred and practical. Elle looks to find methods that fit each person's needs rather than use the same plan for everyone. She often draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different approaches in day-to-day life.

Sessions tend to focus on what the client wants to change. Elle encourages people to notice their feelings and the needs beneath them, and to practise new ways of coping and communicating. She also supports people to reconnect with their values and sense of choice.

Clients commonly bring issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, infidelity, loneliness and intense shame. Elle works one-to-one to help people make sense of these experiences and find clearer ways forward.

How Elle uses person-centred and CBT approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person is heard and chosen goals guide the work. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and repetitive behaviours.

Choosing an approach is part of the collaborative process. Elle will talk with each person about their aims and preferences and agree which methods to try. She adjusts the way she works as progress and needs change, so the plan can shift over time.

The practical advantages of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time, which can make regular work on goals more possible. Online work also allows a range of session rhythms, such as shorter check-ins or standard-length sessions, depending on what helps someone maintain momentum. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to find what suits your life and schedule.
