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 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.

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.
