Our Process

Online counselling made simple

I am Elia, a registered counsellor based in Manchester, UK. I provide effective, science-based online trauma therapy and online anxiety therapy.

My job is to bring you from where you are to where you want to be. I use a 3-step system with a direct, honest, sugarcoating-free style:

01

Analyze

We will analyse together your present moment, understanding where you are and what strengths we can harness.

02

Strategize

We will strategise the path to your goal, knowing how you want to feel and what you want your life to look like.

03

Implement

We will implement the plan and make change happen in a safe environment, with the support of techniques and tools that help you heal.

Working on one goal at a time, we will co-create a process adapted to your life and your needs to reach maximum efficiency. We will aim to create results as fast as possible, so you can minimise your suffering.

Results: manage or end your symptoms

As a trauma counsellor specialising in PTSD and anxiety, I know that your life does not stop and that you still have deadlines and responsibilities. That’s why I have developed a method that is:

  • Fast – offering brief and intensive trauma therapy with a solution-focused approach.
  • Effective – using scientifically proven therapeutic techniques like CBT and EMDR.
  • Safe – creating a space where you can be seen, heard and understood.
  • Cooperative – you decide what you want your goals to be. Whether you want a quick fix to carry on with your projects, or you prefer digging into the root of your problem, it is your choice.
  • Positive – including skills that help you live a life with more emotional regulation, clear decision-making, healthy habits and assertive relationships.

What Our Clients Say

I have to say, it’s the strangest therapy, but it worked for me. I had no idea what to expect.  I won’t say that it transformed my life; it will take a lot more on my part to do that. I also haven’t got to the bottom of the memory and what happened to have caused my problems. But I don’t get red mist anymore. I get angry, sure, but not in the same way; I’m altogether more rational about it. And my partner and I have been able to work through things. I have Elia to thank for that.

I didn’t know what kind of therapy I needed but Elia carried out a detailed assessment and thought I probably had PTSD from an historic experience. She recommended Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing, or EMDR.

It took some time to find the root cause of my problem but Elia persevered and we got there in the end.

Elia is a joy to work with. She’s warm, caring, and kind and doesn’t waste your time. You come to her to fix something and she’ll work with you to fix it in the most efficient way possible. She helped me so much, and I am forever grateful!

When I came to Elia I was at an all time low. I’d had ‘anger issues’ all of my adult life. Looking back I probably had them as a child too. I would get ‘red mist’ and explode and remember very little about it afterwards. It came to a head when I assaulted my partner of, then, 14 years. I knew I needed help and my partner insisted that I see somebody.

I was nervous but Elia soon settled me. She is very friendly and somebody with whom it’s easy to relax and open up.

Elia investigated my background thoroughly to get to the cause of my anxiety and then continuously adapted to my needs: some days I just needed reassurance or help with anxiety; others I could do proper work on myself and Elia was there doing the work with me. Progressively, my anxiety started improving as I learned what caused it and how I could manage it. Today, I am a Doctor and I am in a new, happy relationship; more importantly, I am at peace with myself and I have learned to navigate my anxiety… and I greatly owe it to Elia.

I visited Elia for a course of EMDR treatment, I noticed a positive difference after the first session and while I knew the course of treatment would be long, I was confident that I was in the right hands and that it would be brought to a successful conclusion.
