About Eleni Ourani

Eleni Ourani is a UK-licensed psychotherapist with nine years of professional experience who works with people facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges. She supports those dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, low motivation, procrastination, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, sadness, and major life transitions, tailoring each session to the needs of the individual.

As an integrative practitioner, she blends several therapeutic traditions to create a personalised way of working rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. From her practice she draws on psychodynamic ideas about how earlier experiences influence current patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and change how people relate to difficult inner experiences, and Compassion Focused approaches to cultivate greater self-understanding and kindness.

Eleni believes meaningful change often comes from shifting how people respond to their thoughts and feelings as they arise, and she aims to help clients build practical skills alongside deeper insight. She offers a therapeutic space marked by respect and compassion where people can explore what is happening in their lives without fear of judgement. Taking the first step to seek support is recognised as an act of courage, and she acknowledges and honours that decision.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical ways to live in line with those values while changing their relationship to painful thoughts and emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, depression, and difficulties with avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, offering structured strategies to identify and shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, panic, phobias, depression, and stress management.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current ways of relating and can help with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and relationship patterns. It supports understanding interpersonal dynamics and building more secure connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Eleni works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify the methods that best fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow for face-to-face conversation from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or more frequent contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access consistent support when in-person visits are not possible.
