About Elena
Elena Dinu is a BACP counsellor with 22 years of practice in the United Kingdom and Romania. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, coaching and compassion fatigue. Elena speaks English and Romanian.
Elena draws on long experience in psychological and therapy settings. She focuses on building a trusting working relationship first. Sessions are straightforward and practical. The emphasis is on talking through what is happening now and finding clearer ways to respond to difficult feelings such as anger and frustration.
Her approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions and build everyday coping skills. She aims to make sense of patterns that keep recurring and to try out different ways of responding. Work can include managing stress at work or home, dealing with grief, and addressing addictive behaviours that affect daily life.
Elena has practised in both the UK and Romania and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings two decades of hands-on experience to sessions and draws on methods that have practical benefit for daily life.
People who contact her can expect clear conversation about goals and manageable steps between sessions. If you are considering therapy for anger or related issues, follow the site’s booking process to see the online therapy options and to arrange a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches to emotion and managing anger online
Elena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage feelings such as anger and frustration. One common approach helps identify the thoughts and triggers that lead to strong reactions, and then tests alternative responses in everyday situations to reduce snapping and built-up resentment. Another approach concentrates on practical coping skills - breathing, grounding and short behavioural changes - so moments of intense feeling can be handled with less overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals, current difficulties and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan fits needs and preferences rather than being fixed from the start.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have short check-ins between commitments or to keep appointments during a break at work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals will usually discuss session length, rhythm and any follow-up tasks so therapy can fit into everyday life.
