About Elena
Elena Lanza is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and a broad range of other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and international clients are accepted.
Elena uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. She aims to help people name hard emotions and understand how they affect relationships and daily life. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and existential perspectives when these suit the person’s needs.
Her background includes work with trauma, addiction, grief and neurodiversity issues such as autism and ADHD. Elena also supports people struggling with intimacy, abandonment and attachment questions. She has experience meeting people who have faced sexual or physical abuse and those coping with chronic illness or cancer related stress.
In sessions she uses straightforward tools like breath work, mindfulness and simple art-based exercises to manage strong feelings. She also works with Internal Family Systems elements to help people connect with different emotional parts. Integration work for people processing psychedelic experiences is part of her practice when relevant.

How Elena’s approaches shape online work
Elena uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name difficult feelings and see how those feelings affect relationships and behaviours. Attachment-based work looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and how they turn up now. Client-centred therapy keeps the focus on the person’s agenda and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and conversational.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elena will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits best, based on their concerns, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Some approaches such as EFT and attachment-based work adapt well to conversation-focused sessions, while breath work or brief art exercises can be included when useful. Registered or accredited professionals often find online sessions helpful for consistent weekly contact, and Elena aims to match the practical setup to a person’s needs.
