About me

  • Elena Larina-Bates online counsellor and psychotherapist in Kettering Northamptonshire UK

    Elena Larina-Bates

    I am a fully qualified counsellor and trauma therapist. I am an accredited member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

    I offer a safe space to empower you to find your own unique solution to the problems. With an extensive training in different therapeutic modalities and my background in science, I offer what works.

    One of my specialities is supporting the clients with burnout, stress and anxiety. I work holistically and offer a variety of tailored evidence-based tools to help you to overcome emotional difficulties. My approach is warm and supportive.

    With my love of history and genealogy and my multicultural background, I also work successfully with relationship and family issues, low self-confidence and low self-esteem. I have a keen interest in transgenerational trauma.

    I offer EFT Tapping as a stand along sessions and as a part of therapy.

    Additionally, I can offer therapy in Russian language.

    I offer online therapy.

    I am based in Kettering, Northamptonshire, UK

My approach

Holistic counselling

Holistic therapy online

We, human beings, are complex and have amazing potential. I am here to help you to discover yours. During our sessions, we will work together to find out how some past events in your life might still affect you in the here and now and how we can work towards change. With a tailored approach and working holistically, I can help you to feel more connected with yourself and closer to people you care about.

Research supports that therapy delivered online is as effective as face-to-face counselling and has added benefits of your own familiar environment.

I supported Team Sebastian last year by donating 6 EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping sessions in the last year’s Auction of Promises. Kettering and the surrounding community united to help fundraise for Sebastian’s lifesaving treatment. Sadly, it was too late. The money previously raised is being distributed amongst local families in similar situations, suffering challenging situations due to critically ill children. This year Orange day is back – Friday 24th May Sebastian’s parents Gregg and Lindsay wish to keep Sebastian’s memory alive and this year, in his honour, would like to hold a second community orange day. The new recipient will be Skylark Ward at Kettering General Hospital. Last year, over £10,000 was raised by orange day as our fantastic community wore orange to support Team Sebastian. This year, on Friday 24th May, they invite all local businesses (and schools) to once again join Team Sebastian and Brambleside Primary School and hold an ‘orange’ themed mufti day with staff in exchange for a £1 donation. Orange was Sebastian’s favourite colour and has now become synonymous with Sebastian and the Team Sebastian brand. What better way to pay tribute to this beautiful, brave boy and his family. All money raised by your business or school can be donated either by using this link https://gofund.me/a44638f6 or by using the new QR code featured on the attached leaflets. Cash payments can be accepted at Brambleside School too. Mr and Mrs Nunney have set up a new go fund me site especially for this year’s orange day so that everyone can see how much is has been raised for Skylark Ward. You can read all about Sebastian’s journey on Team Sebastian’s brilliantly moving website https://teamsebastian.co.uk/
