Elaine Benardout
Since working with Elaine I now catch myself thinking differently.
I realised that I naturally fitted the role of listening to and helping others, following my personal life experiences. I use an adaptable approach to having a positive impact on people's lives. Maybe you feel anxious, sad or depressed. You may want to understand your feelings and responses and make positive changes. It may be that you feel the need to please others, rather than fulfilling your own needs..

About me and my practice
My approach is gentle, caring and consultive so that my clients feel safety, empathy and non judgment. In this way clients feel that they get the solutions and outcomes they are looking for .
I offer a range of approaches to facilitate change. In this way my clients are better served. Including: CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy tools for behavioural change), humanistic therapy (self-reflection and becoming your true self) and psychodynamic therapy (link between past experience and current behaviour's).
Experience
My background is in business development and training where my extensive experience enables me to draw on many techniques including problem solving, communication skills and relationship building.
Working with a wide variety of client and their issues, I have helped people with anxiety, depression, coping skills, managing relationships, dealing with ADHD, self esteem and confidence and more.
My voluntary work with a domestic violence charity encounters narcissistic relationships and general abuse.
