Elaine RP

My name’s Elaine Dickens. I’m an integrative psychotherapist who helps men, over-thinkers and high performers find balance by leveraging  self compassion and emotional intelligence.With a background spanning two decades in children’s mental health, my journey into counselling was ignited by personal experiences. Witnessing men in my life struggle with mental health inspired this venture. Beyond mere collaboration, my sincere goal is for clients to authentically feel better. I firmly believe that genuine improvement unfolds when individuals become adept at navigating their emotions.My client focus extends to children (10 years and older), young adults, individuals, and couples, with a commitment to being neurodiverse informed and affirming. My areas of interest include men’s mental health, anxiety, self-compassion, EQ and parenting.I approach therapy with a mix of evidence-based methods, including CBT, EMDR, solution-focused, emotionally focused, and existential therapies. Creating a space that is open, safe, and supportive is paramount, as I believe understanding one’s values is crucial in establishing a collaborative therapeutic alliance.

In the Wild : Outside the clinic, I gracefully juggle the role of a mom to two teens, embracing the challenges as opportunities for growth. As a perpetual learner, I find joy in reading and fitness. Weekends often involve finding solace in the outdoors accompanied by my trusty sidekick, “Henry” the dog.

In Another Life
If I weren’t immersed in the world of psychotherapy, I’d likely be chasing another passion – as a Peloton instructor.
