Elaine Macha

I am a registered Counsellor and UK Psychotherapist (NL Psychologist). I have extensive experience in working with adults and teenagers both face-to-face and online. I started training as a therapist as I saw many young people suffering with anxiety and low self-esteem. I create a safe therapeutic space for you to safely talk through your thoughts and feelings, and explore deeply rooted emotions and challenges to understand what does not feel right within. I am compassionate and dedicated to helping individuals navigate healing and personal growth. With extensive experience working with adults and teenagers, I create a safe, therapeutic space for clients to explore their challenges and develop strategies for positive transformation. I work with clients facing issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, bullying, depression, negative thought patterns, and difficulties in work and relationships. My approach is deeply rooted in an empathic therapeutic relationship, where I attentively listen to clients’ somatic and emotional experiences. I empower them to explore their self-beliefs, reconnect with their core values, and make meaningful shifts towards your values and emotional wellbeing. I am particularly interested in the neuropsychology of trauma in the body, and the impact this can have on attachment dynamics, self-confidence and identity. In the therapeutic space I utilise creative approaches to assist you in unlocking unprocessed trauma and I regularly use nature and imaging in the therapeutic space. My experience has included working with young people and adults facing the challenges of anxiety, self-esteem, self-worth, unprocessed trauma, addiction, self-harm, identity issues, anger, loss, relationship difficulties and personal autonomy.
