Elaine Bell
Counsellor & Counselling Supervisor at Healing Connection Place
Lisburn BT28
[email protected]
I am a BACP-registered and insured counsellor with 9 years of professional experience, gained through work in both the charity sector and private practice in Northern Ireland. I hold a Foundation Degree in Counselling (2017), an Honours Degree in Counselling and Professional Issues (2020), and a Level 6 Certificate in Counselling Supervision.
I am trauma-informed and have experience supporting clients with a wide range of issues, including relationship difficulties, neurodivergence, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger management, self esteem and spiritual exploration.
My integrative approach draws from existential, psychodynamic, person-centred, and focusing-oriented therapies. I work relationally, paying close attention to emotional depth, embodied experience, and the personal scripts that shape how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
I believe that you are the expert of your own story and that you already possess many of the strengths you need to navigate life’s challenges. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and authentic life, and taking that first step is something to be proud of. I’m here to support and empower you on that journey, and I look forward to hearing from you.
**Important Update – Effective from Monday 14th April 2025**
In line with the BACP Ethical Framework and to ensure a safe and focused therapeutic space, I will now be offering **weekly phone, video, and live chat sessions only** for all new clients.
**Asynchronous messaging** will be limited to **practical matters only**—such as scheduling, sharing resources, or session-related materials.
You are welcome to use the message space as a personal journal; however, these entries will **not receive a therapeutic response**.
This update has been made to support clear boundaries and to ensure that therapeutic work is contained within our scheduled sessions.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing trust.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
