We’re facing unprecedented psychological and social dilemmas in our technologically saturated world. Elaine is a uniquely qualified guide in that new landscape, focusing on deepening wellbeing; maximising connection; and retaining our fundamental humanity. As a hybrid Cyberpsychologist and Counselling Psychologist, she believes in recognising and challenging narratives of helplessness in the face of technology; realising the fuller extent of our power; and building more meaningful lives with and through tech.

Elaine’s new book Reboot: Reclaiming your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World (Elliott & Thompson, 2023) examines how we use and abuse tech throughout our lives. Through novel insights and connections delivered in Elaine’s signature storytelling style, Reboot inspires you to make values-driven, self-aware, smart choices about technology – choices that will help you be the person, parent, partner and worker you want to be. Elaine has also written All the Ghosts in the Machine: The Digital Afterlife of Your Personal Data (Robinson, 2019), an exposé of how the online dead affect the privacy, fortunes, and experience of the living in myriad, surprising and ever-evolving ways.

A keynote speaker, storyteller and trainer, Elaine has collaborated with clients and audiences worldwide, including Netflix, TEDx, House of Beautiful Business, Santander, Hill & Knowlton Strategies, Congreso Futuro, the NHS, the Edinburgh Fringe and Latitude. She is a regular contributor across the media and produces and hosts the podcast Your Life on Tech.

She is an Honorary Professor of Psychology at the University of Wolverhampton for her body of work on life in the digital age; an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society; a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts; and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
