Elena Dinu

Elena Dinu is a counsellor with 22 years' experience who helps people manage anger and related problems. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and other concerns that often sit alongside anger. Elena speaks English and Romanian and practises in the United Kingdom.

Her style is straightforward and relational. She aims to make sessions feel welcoming and non-judgemental so people can talk honestly about what is driving their anger. She listens for patterns that cause repeated conflict and helps clients experiment with new ways of responding.

Over two decades of practice have given her a wide range of clinical experience. Elena draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addictions, eating concerns, sleep problems and intimacy-related worries as well as work and career stress. She also supports people coping with trauma, compassion fatigue and major life changes.

Elena is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work focuses on forming a trusting relationship first, then using clear, practical steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and pace.

If someone wants to begin, Elena asks prospective clients to complete a short questionnaire that helps match needs and schedule sessions. That initial information guides how she and the person plan their work together.

How Elena approaches therapy online and by method

Elena uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to be practical and solution-focussed. One common approach she draws on is cognitive work that helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this can be useful for anger, anxiety and low mood. She also uses relational methods that focus on building a steady, trusting connection in sessions and exploring how past experiences shape present reactions; this helps with trauma, attachment and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elena will work with each person to agree which techniques to try and adjust them over time. She checks in about what helps and what does not, so the plan matches the client's goals and everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can be helpful because it reduces travel, makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy day and allows people to join from wherever they are based in the UK. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is tight, while others choose video for a fuller face-to-face feel; Elena will discuss practical choices and find what suits each person best.
