About the Therapist
About the therapist:

Hello!

My name is Elena Bain and I work mainly with GSRD clients, those who are questioning their identity and clients who struggle with compulsive sexual behaviours and Chemsex.

It is my intention to provide a welcoming safe space for you to come and explore your feelings and what troubles you. My approach is Person-Centred but I will include appropriate questioning when I feel it is relevant with the aim to help you discover more about yourself, what you can genuinely accept about yourself and also what you could potentially change. I will be there to support you on your journey of discovery with compassion and the core conditions of empathy, congruence (genuineness & honesty) and unconditional positive regard (genuine acceptance).
