About Eila
Eila Ghrayeb is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and issues around intimacy. Her work also includes support for eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stresses, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, ADHD and coping with life changes.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside other approaches to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on naming difficult feelings, noticing unhelpful patterns, and finding small steps a person can try between sessions. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making change feel manageable.
Her background includes a range of front-line roles supporting people with complex needs, such as homelessness and substance difficulties, and work with people who have experienced childhood abuse. This practical experience informs a direct style that combines listening with clear suggestions for coping and behaviour change.
Eila describes her practice as integrative, drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based work and client-centred ways of working as needed. She supports people for whom faith is an important part of their identity and can include that in sessions when requested.
People who choose her tend to want help with strong emotions, attachment worries, or repeated relationship patterns. She aims to help them understand their responses and to develop everyday strategies they can use outside sessions.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and name strong or confusing emotions and the interaction patterns that keep problems repeating. It is often used when attachment worries or repeated relationship responses are central to the difficulty.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and learning small actions that align with a person’s values. It is practical for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether EFT, ACT or attachment-focused ways of working seem most useful given the client’s goals and situation. This is a collaborative process and may shift over time as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify which online options are used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone join from a quieter place or choose a phone call when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor how they meet so sessions fit practical routines and preferences.
