Elena Vontzalidou

Hi, I'm Elena- a Person Centred Counsellor with a specialism in infertility, miscarriage, baby loss and termination for medical reasons (TMFR). My focus is to support anyone navigating the pain and complexity these bring. Other issues I work with include postnatal depression, experiences in NICU, birth trauma and the experience of foetal or infant diagnosis or suspected diagnosis. I also have a strong interest in women’s health in general and the menopause especially.

With professional training, personal experience, and empathy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and feel understood. Clients always comment on my warm and nurturing presence and my ability to really understand what they are going through. I believe a lot of problems can make you feel isolated and having someone who truly listens can be the key to helping you feel understood and a little lighter at heart.

How I Can Help:

Miscarriage, infertility and postnatal depression can feel isolating, leaving you unsure of where to turn. The menopause can be a time of tremendous change, both physically and emotionally. Many of my clients share how difficult it is to talk about these experiences with family or friends, fearing discomfort or misunderstanding. That’s where I come in—I listen without judgment, offering empathy and guidance to help you navigate the complex emotions that accompany your journey. By offering you a confidential and safe space, I hope you will feel able to work through whatever is troubling you.

Why Choose Me?

Alongside my specialist training in miscarriage, baby loss, infertility and TMFR, I bring my lived experience of birth trauma, foetal suspected diagnosis and NICU to the counselling room. My wealth of experience working with families over the past ten years has also given me a real insight into the challenges and pressures women, in particular, feel on a day to day basis. 

I work in a person centred way. In essence, to me this means that I offer a therapeutic style that feels simpler, warmer and more optimistic than that offered by behavioural or psychodynamic approaches such as CBT. My aim is to create a space for individuals to feel encouraged to focus on their current subjective understanding of whatever is troubling them rather than on anyone else’s interpretation of the situation. At the heart of my practice lies the conviction that the only expert on your circumstances is you. Together we will build a space comfortable enough for you to discover and mould new aspects of self, face those that have remained well hidden and begin to love those that are difficult or hard to carry.

To remove as many barriers from accessing counselling as possible, I also offer concession rates, weekend and evening appointments and meetings at a location with wheelchair access on request. 

Taking the first step in reaching out can feel daunting, but I’m here to make it easier. I offer a free introductory call to help you decide if we’re a good fit. This is your space, because finding a counsellor you feel comfortable with is really important.

Sessions: Online (via Google Meet) or by phone, offering flexibility and accessibility. In person in a central Norwich location.
