Elia Duncan , BACP

Elia Duncan is a UK-based psychotherapist who combines practical tools with a compassionate, person-centered approach to help people navigate stress, loss, relationship problems and identity concerns. He has supported people for more than 16 years, including 8 years as a psychotherapist in private practice across London and East Sussex and with clients internationally. Elia works with a wide range of issues including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and the effects of major life changes.

He has particular experience supporting men recovering from difficult relationships or divorce, and individuals exploring racial and sexual identity. His background in education counselling informs his work with adults who have ADHD/ADD. Much of his practice focuses on helping people identify their values and boundaries, and on developing a kinder, more resilient relationship with themselves.

Elia blends clinical techniques with an emphasis on a warm, trusting therapeutic relationship, and he draws on approaches such as client-centered work and cognitive and psychodynamic methods to match the needs of each person. He holds the BACP credential - BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and brings a calm, thoughtful presence to the therapeutic process. He is not currently accepting new clients but continues to work with international referrals when arrangements allow.
