“We decided to got for couple counselling after my husband and I had experienced an extended period of being unable to have even one conversation without it ending up in a row! I even left home for a week to have a think about splitting up – a huge consideration after 30 years together. After lots of internet research, we decided on onlinecouplescounselling and Elaine Brown because of the consistently good reviews. From the outset, we both felt really comfortable with Elaine – with the way she not only listened but ‘heard’ what each of us was saying; by the way we felt she wasn’t taking sides but working at finding different ways we could approach how we related to each other. Elaine saw in each of us what we weren’t seeing in each other but which we did see when she pointed it out. In between sessions, we both worked at taking on board what Elaine had suggested and, surprisingly quickly, we found we were making huge strides in the right direction. Like magic! Instead of the same circular arguments, our approaches are different and we have a new level of understanding. This is wonderful as we have always loved each other and now we feel we are enjoying being with each other again. The tension has lifted from our home and caring has returned. It is, of course, not without the odd argument so is still dynamic but that’s fine. We can’t recommend the kind, emotionally intelligent and skilled Elaine more. Elaine has got us back to how we once were. Just wish we’d found her ages ago.”
“I can’t tell you how happy we are that we made the decision to come and speak to you. You are absolutely made for this job and have been such a big help for us! Thanks again.”
“We started counselling sessions through the first covid lockdown when we noticed our daughter loosing confidence & just finding it difficult to just get her head around the day to day challenges teenagers were / are facing. Elaine has 100% given our daughter her confidence back, she’s less anxious & better prepared for the challenges she’ll face in the future. Highly recommend Go Counselling.”
“I was unable to put one foot in front of another when Elaine became my counsellor. She helped me recover from a deeply traumatic experience but perhaps more importantly make it an experience from which I have been able to change my life in every aspect for the better. Elaine is a deeply empathetic, kind and compassionate counsellor. It is however her phenomenal sense of humour and desire to help me lead the best possible life for me, that has given me the tools to become a person who loves life and can’t wait to get on with it, like, now! She is magic, I know it is hard work, experience and a talent for what she does but actually, but looking back it really feels like magic.”
“We just wanted to take the time to thank you for everything that you have done for us. Your sessions have been so helpful, we honestly do not know where we would be now without them.”
“Thank you so much for everything you have done to help the situation with our marriage. We have learnt a lot but still have a way to go but you have helped more than we can of expected.”

“My husband and I went to Elaine for support after a period of high stress had put some strain on us as a couple after twelve years of marriage. She was immediately friendly and approachable, and got to grips with our situation very rapidly to supply us with some genuinely useful exercises and tools to use together to help both “come down” from the stressful period and reinforce our relationship with positivity. She was empathetic, enthusiastic and yet optimistic with us every session, helping us to roadmap our way out of a tough corner and come back even stronger together. We had maybe half a dozen sessions with her in all and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone in any kind of relationship looking for anything from a tune-up to a full overhaul; at all points she was looking for real solutions for us, not just ways to keep us on as a retained client fee, which was very refreshing! Absolutely A* and then some.“
“Elaine really helped my partner and I. We were going through a tough time due to a combination of having moved country, setting up new businesses here, the pandemic and then moving home. Suffice to say things were stressed to breaking point. Elaine helped us to examine the issues, not be so hard on ourselves, and focus on being kind to ourselves and each other. We are in a much better space now and will hopefully only need the occasional relationship MOT!”
“As a couple deciding to access therapy together it can be personally challenging but sometimes necessary if you wish to move forward with your relationship. We found it helped us realign and set aside time for each other once again, we are truly thankful for the skills and resources you have provided us to keep moving forward with our relationship, thank you so much, to think about what we could have lost without your support is unimaginable.”
“Thank you so much for helping us at a dark time for us. We are much better now. Will certainly reach out should we need. “
“Your help has been utterly invaluable and has guided us in so many ways on all parts of our life, so thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts.”
“I felt an immediate warmth and connection to her. I came with a laundry list of struggles and anxieties to focus on and after each session, I would leave feeling so empowered and like a massive weight had been lifted. Elaine listens with such care, empathy and compassion. The attention she gives during each session makes you feel like you are the most important person to her in that hour and that is simply invaluable. I can’t thank you enough, Elaine!”
“She is perceptive and insightful and has a lovely nurturing and kind presence. In our couple work she helped us get through a difficult time with a very fair, supportive and non-judgemental approach. She’s an empathetic listener and has helped rebuild my confidence in my personal counselling and offered great advice and resources for me to use in the future.”
