Elaine Harris

Professional Profile

I’m Elaine, a fully qualified and BABCP-accredited CBT Therapist working with Think CBT in South Sefton/North Liverpool (L21). I offer CBT and EMDR both online and in person on Thursdays.

Clients describe me as warm, personable and compassionate in my approach. I aim to work collaboratively alongside each client, helping them to better understand their difficulties, reduce distress and improve their wellbeing. I recognise that everyone is unique, so I tailor therapy to the individual and strive to provide an inclusive, respectful and supportive space.

I have over 15 years’ experience using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) as my main therapeutic approaches. I have also developed skills in a range of ‘third-wave’ approaches, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).

Throughout my career, I have worked across a variety of settings, including community IAPT services, the private sector and forensic services. I have experience managing complex caseloads and working with a wide range of mental health difficulties, from mild to moderately severe presentations.

These include depression, post-traumatic stress, generalised anxiety, phobias, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), low self-esteem, health anxiety, social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
