About Elia
Elia Duncan welcomes people looking for steady, practical support during difficult times. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low self-esteem or big life changes. Elia aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what feels most useful for each person.
Elia has eight years of experience as a psychotherapist in independent practice in the United Kingdom. He also has a BACP credential, which is recorded as BACP in his profile.
Background and approach
His background includes work in education counselling and clinical settings that informed his approach to common issues such as depression, relationship challenges and ADHD-related struggles. In sessions Elia helps people clarify their values and set healthy boundaries. He uses conversational, person-centred methods alongside practical techniques to reduce distress.
He pays attention to how past patterns influence current choices and to the small changes that build steadier routines. Elia also supports people coping with identity concerns, including matters related to sexual identity and gender dysphoria. He works with fathers and with people facing blended family or parenting pressures, helping them manage stress and improve communication where needed.
He offers a calm, non-judgemental presence and focuses on tangible steps clients can use between sessions. People are invited to bring specific problems or wider feelings of emptiness, and to work together on goals like improving confidence, handling anger, or recovering after loss.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences with the client, then try methods that suit those aims. Sessions can mix approaches so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone can fit a short check-in with lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or have shorter, focused conversations when that fits a busy schedule. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
