Your work. Your confidence. Your mood. Your relationships. Your sense of control.
Most days it feels like you are doing everything “right” and still losing the battle.
You are not here because IBS is inconvenient.
You are here because it is relentless.
It is more than bloating, pain, or urgency.
It is the constant anticipation that wears you down.
The physical strain
Bloating that changes your body shape.
Pain that derails your day.
Exhaustion from worrying about flare-ups.
The emotional impact
Guilt for cancelling plans.
Frustration when nothing seems to work.
Fear of symptoms appearing at the worst time.
The life limitations
Planning around bathrooms.
Avoiding food, travel, and events.
Living on high alert.
You are not overreacting.
You are navigating something that affects every part of your life.
Most people I see have tried:
Low FODMAP, medications, supplements, probiotics, elimination diets, intolerance tests, stress apps, and gut health programs.
You improve for a short time, then symptoms return.
What is missing is personalisation.
Your gut, stress responses, lifestyle, history, and coping patterns are not the same as anyone else.
So many people with IBS feel unseen, unheard, and unsupported.
Not because their symptoms are mild, but because the healthcare system often does not have the time or structure to meet the real needs of this condition.
Appointments are short.
Advice is inconsistent.
Tests come back normal.
People are told to change their diet, reduce stress, or “wait and see,” yet their symptoms continue.
Meanwhile daily life becomes smaller.
Food choices narrow.
Travel feels risky.
Work becomes harder to manage.
Plans are cancelled.
Fear and shame grow quietly in the background.
There is a gap between what people with IBS need and what traditional care can realistically provide.
This service exists to fill that gap.
This work matters because no one should have to navigate IBS alone.
Everyone deserves support that is personalised, respectful, and grounded in both science and understanding.
I have met thousands of IBS patients throughout my career as a gastroenterologist, and I know what it feels like to be:
Meanwhile your symptoms continue.
Your world becomes smaller.
And people around you do not fully understand how heavy this is.
You deserve better than that.
I do not offer another diet plan or temporary strategy.
IBS is a gut brain condition that needs a holistic and structured approach.
We focus on:
You receive understanding, clarity, and practical tools that support long-term change.
A calmer gut and a clearer path forward
I help you rebuild control:
Over your symptoms
Over your decisions
Over your day
Over your life
You do not have to keep fighting your body.
You can learn a different way to work with it.

I’m here to listen, support and help you change your narrative to give you back control of your life. It does take effort and time and work, like going to the gym, but it can be done. Trust me there’s evidence all these techniques work from studies over the last 20 years.
Hi, I’m Dr Elena, and I’m a gastroenterologist. I specialize in helping high-performing individuals overcome the challenges of living with IBS so they can regain control of their lives. I’ve seen firsthand how IBS can impact every aspect of a person’s life—from their physical health to their emotional well-being and relationships. I understand how life-altering IBS can be. I’ve seen how this condition can make even the simplest activities—like eating out, traveling, or focusing at work—feel overwhelming.
What drives me is the frustration I’ve witnessed in so many people who feel let down by traditional healthcare systems. Appointments that feel rushed. Solutions that don’t address the whole person. Advice that focuses solely on symptoms without considering the emotional and mental toll of living with IBS.
That’s why I chose to do things differently.
When I worked within the traditional system, I saw how hard it was for people with IBS to get the care they truly needed. The appointments were too short, the solutions too generic, and the waiting lists too long. Worse, the emotional impact of IBS—like anxiety, shame, and isolation—was often completely ignored.
I created this online service because I wanted to offer something better. Online therapy allows me to meet you where you are, on your terms. Whether you’re balancing a busy career, family, or other commitments, you’ll have the flexibility to get the care and support you need without adding more stress to your life Online therapy allows me to provide a safe, empathetic, and accessible space for you to explore what’s really going on—without the hassle of long waits or the pressure to fit your needs into a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach.
I understand that your life is busy and demanding, and that finding time for your health isn’t always easy. With online therapy, you can get the support you need from the comfort of your home, on a schedule that works for you.
I understand your journey of negative tests but knowing there is still something is wrong with no one to listen or able to help. I am here to change that.
Together we identify your needs, triggers, thoughts and actions to change the negative cycle of distress with strategies tailored to your needs. Building resilience and coping skills with CBT, mindfulness and hypnotherapy.
I provide a safe space for you to share your story without judgement. To teach you how to manage your condition and take back control and independence.
How would it be to be able to go on the trip you always wanted? Not constantly checking the toilet access, fear of foods, or finally able to go on that date.
Just imagine what it would it be like to be able to go on that trip you always wanted, not constantly checking the toilet access. Not having to fear going to a restaurant and worry about what’s on the menu, or going on that date without the fear of embarrassment and wear that nice dress without having to worry if you look bloated.
Bowel issues come with shame and stigma which can lead to isolation and depression ad frustration. Having seen thousands of IBS patients, I have a clear understanding of the emotional burden and impact on quality of life that brings.
But now is the time to change, to take back control of your body and regain your independence.
