About Ellie
Ellie draws on five years of experience and works in a person-centred way. That means conversations follow what matters most to the client, while the therapist gently guides and offers tools when needed. She also integrates ideas from cognitive approaches and psychodynamic thinking to suit each person.
Sessions commonly address life transitions, relationship strain, grief and difficulties with sleep or eating. Ellie also supports people dealing with parenting pressure, career uncertainty, ADHD-related challenges and compassion fatigue from caring roles. Her approach is steady and conversational, with a focus on small, practical changes.
Ellie holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers a supportive presence, reflection and questions that help the client see choices more clearly and make decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours together and uses simple exercises to change patterns that drive anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits.Working out which approach fits best is part of the process. Ellie will discuss goals and preferences with the client and try techniques that suit those aims. Therapy is collaborative, so adjustments are made as things evolve to find what helps most.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also helps when quieter surroundings or being off-camera are preferable, since different ways of meeting can match a person's practical needs.
