Elodie De-Souza, NCPS

Elodie De-Souza helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tension, parenting strain and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, problems with sleep, anger, addiction concerns and career or life changes. Her first aim is to make the initial step less daunting and to meet people where they are. She works in a respectful, sensitive and compassionate way. Conversations are tailored to each person's situation rather than following a set script. She uses practical tools alongside open listening to help people feel steadier day to day. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings. She also uses client-centred principles that keep the person and their priorities at the heart of sessions. Cognitive behavioural techniques are applied when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Elodie has nine years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She will shape a plan with you, combining short-term strategies and deeper work depending on your goals. People who come to her often want clear steps to manage intense emotions, improve communication, rebuild confidence or cope with major life shifts. She encourages small, achievable changes and regular reflection so progress can be felt between meetings. To begin, she asks people to make the first booking and complete a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled with their needs in mind.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current emotions and closeness. Online discussions can help identify patterns that affect trust, intimacy and communication in present-day relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person's priorities and experience at the centre of sessions, offering a compassionate space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferred style, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific online or remote options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also allow people to continue steady support while navigating changes in work, family life or location.
