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?

Hello. As a counsellor/psychotherapist, I am committed to choosing a therapeutic approach that works best for you, and view the relationship between us both to be crucial in facilitating whatever changes you want to make.

I know that shopping around and finding the right fit is important before investing money, time and emotional energy - and so I'm always happy to have a brief informal chat before you commit to any sessions.

I work with a variety of presenting issues, and am happy to work with you for short-term or long-term therapy.

I am LGBTQIA+/GSRD (Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity) allied, sex positive and body positive. I also have lived experience of Autism and ADHD and keep up to date with research and services around neurodivergence.

I have previously counselled children from age 5 upwards in school settings, and with parents in a post-natal depression charity. Prior to my counselling career, I worked in the arts and education sectors, supporting people of different ages and abilities to explore and express themselves - which it seems is something of a passion of mine. My arts training and background mean that I'm not averse to bringing creativity into the therapeutic relationship if appropriate.

Hello and welcome to my profile.

I am a BACP registered Counsellor specialised in Trauma work. I belong to the accredited register recognised by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.

I possess more than 23 years of working experience throughout a variety of settings such as NHS, MIND, Drugs and Alcohol for London, Carers Centre as well as EAP and Universities.

Within my professional practice I always demonstrate sensitivity to individual differences when working with clients of diverse ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation and cultural background, treating all people with unconditional positive regards and respect.

I use an integrative approach to therapy bringing different tools at different times according to your specific needs and preferences.

Counselling work is about exploring any issues you want to offload in a safe an confidential space where there is no pressure to perform or to meet external demands.

The first session aim to explore what your current needs and desired therapeutic goals are, as well as giving you a confidential space to talk about anything that is a concern for you.

My mission is to empower individuals in reaching their full potential by facilitating the process towards self-awareness and self-compassion.
