Elena Burke
Counsellor in London

Hello and welcome!
I am a person-centred counsellor with twenty years' experience working with love and marriages,bereavement,career-issues,relationships,separations and new beginnings.
I work with adults on the phone but also face-to-face,and will discuss your therapy plan in the first session.
Creating a comfortable atmosphere to help you open up is the starting-point,and establishing your goals and priorities we move towards a life where you are more yourself,more confident and taking sure steps along the right path for you.

My Specialisms

I take a holistic approach, centred around the impact of your relationship,friendships,career and community on your self-expression.

People today face many external stressors.


Uphill struggles in health,finances and career can push you into depression,loss of relationships and impact fertilty in all areas of your existence.

I spent fifteen years counselling couples who experienced unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriage,but also issues relating to professional growth,financial limitations,burnout and differing styles of communication.


I love to work with performing artists,professional creatives who have a unique set of challenges to navigate (nerves on-stage,physical presence/body-image issues,eating-disorders and exhausting schedules).


I need a little information on your own needs from a therapist prior to a first session,and we will take it from there.
I work intuitively and I often get a strong sense of what might help before I pick up the phone,so you might be surprised at the momentum you build in a few sessions.Let me know if you're confident about my reading your aura.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

I often see life's individual challenges come wrapped around each other.

I think we all realise that it is hard to isolate one or identify the core issues blocking you-from utilising your power,progressing towards a life that you find worthwhile.
Healing is a gradual process,but often a few key adjustments open up new possibilities immediately and enhance your enjoyment of life.
I like to help you see the path ahead and feel stronger within a few weeks of starting your therapy.


The first sessions are a chance to get comfortable and connected, in a peaceful atmosphere where you feel free to open up while I assess your strengths,challenges and stumbling-blocks.
I work intuitively to propel clients forward from the first meeting and have had positive results on shorter courses of five-ten sessions.
I am always guided by the client and really enjoy seeing you approach what once felt out of reach.
