Elena Harvey-Kummer

Therapy can be a powerful tool for dealing with life’s challenges, working through difficult emotions and exploring what matters most to you. I have experience supporting people with a range of challenges, and always aim to create a friendly and confidential space for my clients to openly explore their thoughts and feelings. Some issues I commonly work with include a lack of direction and purpose, confidence and self-esteem issues, relationship or family difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns and challenges relating to social identities.

As an integrative therapist, I am trained in a range of evidence-based approaches. This means that I can bring different perspectives and tools to the conversation, but most importantly, I aim to create a nurturing space for self-discovery.

My approach incorporates a diverse range of therapeutic models. First and foremost, I apply a Person-centred approach to create a non-judgmental and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking, and Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how clients’ early experiences influence their current ways of relating and behaving. Finally, I draw on Existential therapy to help foster an acceptance of things outside of our control, a connection to the universal experience and a sense of meaning in life.

Get in touch if you would like to book a Consultation session to explore your therapeutic goals and get a feel for how we could work together.

This is a great way to check that it feels like a good fit before committing to weekly sessions. 

I am currently welcoming new clients for Online and face-to-face sessions in Hackney.

My working Hours vary each day of the week so get in touch for my full availability.

I am aware that Therapy requires you to invest your time, energy and money and therefore I think it's important to feel like you have found a therapist that is a fit for your needs. 

In our 50-minute consultation session, I will help you to explore what has brought you here,  your theraputic goals or hopes and how we could work together to best support this. 

If it feels like a good fit, we can go from there.
