I'm a degree-qualified person-centred psychotherapist/ counsellor/ coach, trained by world-leading experts at the University of Nottingham.I work with all sorts of people with all sorts of conditions, all over the world. I'm accreditated by the UKAHPP and the BACP. Find out more at harvardtherapy.co.uk.

My aim is to empower you to get to where you want to be. To help you discover your potential; to overcome your personal obstacles and issues; to improve your relationships. I have been a therapist for 27yrs and qualified up to masters level. I've worked in various settings including the NHS (hospital and doctors surgeries) and large national charities. This has given me a breath of experience in for example addictions, depression and anxiety disorders, relationship and family issues; self-harm and suicidal behaviour; trauma and bereavement. Humanistic Person Centred approach has guided my training towards Integrative Psychotherapy. The philosophy that we are all unique fits this model; it recognises the value of you as a unique person and combines elements of other approaches to help you grow and flourish. The years have taught me that I don't have all the answers although I do have the skills to help you discover yours. I also know that I can sit with you and be with you in your felt sense of anxiety, fear, depression, anger, chaos or loneliness. I strongly believe that you can be empowered to find your own answers. My passion is in the evolving research of neuro-psychotherapy or brain based therapy. This approach is based in cutting edge brain science - how the brain works, the connection with mind and body, our social interactions and our environment and how we experience all of this - emotionally and behaviourally. Maybe that sounds a lot but basically it just means that it helps me to see the whole of you rather than just one part of you. Together you and I can work towards discovering ways that help you to arrive at where you want to be. As we adjust to the presence of COVID19, online and telephone sessions offer unique opportunities for you and I to explore and experience how we work together. Contact me by telephone, text or email to learn more about me and or to explore what you feel you need. Together we will work on strategies that help you to address the root causes of your issues and build your resilience.

I am an MBACP Registered counsellor and psychodynamic therapist with almost two decades of experience supporting adults through anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, chronic stress, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Since beginning my practice in 2007, I have worked with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and have developed a warm, thoughtful, and deeply relational approach to therapy. My work is grounded in psychodynamic counselling and is both trauma-informed and somatically focused. Over the past two years I have specialised in integrating psychodynamic therapy with body-based approaches, helping clients understand how past experiences, attachment patterns, and nervous system dysregulation can shape their emotional and physical wellbeing. I have a particular interest in relationships, attachment, inner parts work, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, chronic illness, persistent pain, and the impact of chronic stress on the body. I tend to work with millennials and young professionals who are navigating burnout, career pressures, relationship challenges, identity questions, and the feeling of carrying too much for too long. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in recurring patterns they cannot fully explain. In addition to psychotherapy, I am a financial therapist and integrate financial wellbeing into my work where appropriate, supporting clients with financial anxiety, money-related stress, financial trauma, and the emotional and relational aspects of money. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My aim is to help clients develop deeper self-awareness, greater emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of safety within themselves and in their relationships, creating meaningful and lasting change.

As a person centred trained counsellor with over 11 years of experience, I provide a safe space to explore your issues and guide you on your journey of self-discovery. Through my work, I have adapted the use of different models of counselling depending on the client’s needs. By working together, we will explore your life, helping you gain clarity and discover ways to make sense of your emotions so that you can move forward in a positive way. As everyone is different, I take the time to understand your specific situation so I can tailor your therapy to your individual needs. I have never met a client who needs to be "fixed" yet I have met a lot who didn't have the space free of judgment to share their emotions, struggles, concerns or issues. Reaching out for help is the first step and I would offer you the next one: the safe space to be heard and take the next steps towards a better future.

GHP Mental Health Awards 2025 for Holistic Counsellor Year 2025 https://ghpnews.digital/winners/counselling-here-and-now-4/ Winner of the Private Healthcare Awards 2021 for Most Dedicated Online Counselling Service - London, by GHP Magazine www.ghp-news.com/winners/counselling-here-and-now/ Hello and Welcome to My Profile! All the experiences we encounter from childhood onward shape our belief systems and deeply influence how we relate to ourselves and others. Counselling offers a space to explore and revise unhelpful thought patterns, while supporting you in finding your own narrative and making sense of your struggles. It is a journey of self-discovery and increased self-awareness. Counselling can provide invaluable support in reconnecting with your inner needs, wants, and desires. My mission is to create a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you feel free to offload and explore any issue—without pressure to perform or meet external expectations. I work holistically, embracing the complexity of being human. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal and grow in any area of life they choose to focus on. In my professional practice, I always demonstrate sensitivity to individual differences. I work respectfully and inclusively with clients of all ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, religious and cultural backgrounds—treating everyone with unconditional positive regard. I am a MBACP-registered Counsellor, specialising in Trauma work, and belong to the accredited register recognised by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. I am also accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). I bring over 23 years of experience in Mental Health and Trauma, having worked in a wide range of settings including the NHS, MIND, Drugs and Alcohol Services in London, Carers Centres, EAPs, and Universities. My approach is Integrative, meaning I draw on a variety of therapeutic models tailored to each client’s individual needs. These include Gestalt Therapy, Person-Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). My style is both collaborative and relational. In our first session, we’ll explore your current concerns and identify the goals you wish to achieve through therapy. This session also gives you the chance to talk freely and be heard in a confidential, supportive setting. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it has been helpful. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

 

Hi I am Ellie and I am a highly experienced and qualified psychotherapist who is based in Hull, East Yorkshire and over the years I have helped a wide range of clients who have experienced different issues. I am a facilitator of change, and just like scaffolding, I support my client while the delicate restorative work is ongoing. The aim of this process is to help you explore the cause of the issues, support you while you make the necessary adjustments, and then arm you with your own inner resources to continue your recovery journey. I use the key techniques of Gestalt psychotherapy: symbolic work, two chair work and dream work in a deeply empathetic way. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few of the symptoms that I have helped people with over the years. • Struggling to carry out day to day activities • Finding it hard to cope • Lack of confidence • Relationship issues • Struggling to getting up in the morning • Worrying thoughts & feelings • Overthinking • Catastrophizing (Expect the worst will happen) • Confidence & relationship issues. • Dealing with a very severe critic • Low self esteem • Childhood trauma • Difficult relationships • Addictions • Depression • Anxiety • Panic • Grief • Trauma surrounding childbirth, miscarriage & post-natal depression My practice embraces diversity in all its forms and I work keenly with people of all gender identities, sexualities, abilities, ethnic backgrounds, age groups, etc. My choice of profession has been born out of a fundamental desire to help heal people. My mission is to turn my passion for change into supporting my community and a world that I want my own family to grow up in. The work I do is more than just a job to me. It draws upon my natural strengths and has been finely tuned over many years of theoretical and practical experience. My work is also underpinned by my own programme of self-care and continued personal and professional development, to make sure you receive the most dedicated support possible. I really would love to help you and I provide a nourishing safe and non-judgemental holding space, so you have nothing to worry about. Why not book an initial session to see if you think my approach suits you?

I have worked in the field of mental health for over twenty years and I do this work from a place of love, passion and vocation. As well as a thorough and in-depth professional training I also bring the important often difficult learnings from life, relationships, parenting, loss, ageing: any such central components of being alive. My central thrust is towards connection, authenticity and trust: to offer this and thus encourage the same from you. I create a safe space in which you can feel ready to unburden yourself from the weight of whatever you are carrying alone. Whether it is your anxieties and fears or your anger and dissatisfaction; whether it is haunting trauma or crippling self-doubt: whatever it is I am there to accompany you on the journey to the bottom of it. The work is all about communication and expression, through listening to your story and through working with your body where so often tension is trapped and tormenting. The timing of your arrival in therapy is always the right timing: when your need wells right up to the surface and sends you to me I am here.
