Querencia (ke-ren-cia) is a Spanish metaphysical concept meaning 'a place in which one's strength is drawn, where one feels at home and the place you are your most authentic self.' The conditions I provide such as safety, security, confidentiality and non- judgement all contribute to providing your basic needs of safety and belonging. This then allows strength to start to begin to be regained.

Hello I'm Elaine. I started my counselling training in 2012. I am an integrative counsellor. Being integrative means I tailor the approach of counselling to what works best for you. Approaches that I use are Psychodynamic, Person Centred and CBT. Sometimes we will used an approach on its own or have a combination of a few. My experience comes from working as a crisis counsellor in the areas of trauma, bereavement, self harm and domestic abuse. I have a keen interest in working with trauma and have completed an (Hons) Degree using trauma research which I integrate into my work. All communities of people are welcome.
