EMBRACE THE FUTURE WITH MINDFUL DIRECTION COUNSELLING
ABOUT ME
Passionate Counselling Professional
Hi, I'm Ellie, I am a BACP registered counsellor. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing distress, anxiety, current or past trauma, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and much more.
It can be a real struggle sharing our inner most thoughts and feelings, it may not always be possible to share these thoughts with the people we're closest to through fear of judgment or misunderstanding. This is where counselling comes into its own, you don't have to battle with anxiety, trauma, depression, or anything that's causing you distress alone.
I can offer you a safe, confidential, and non- judgemental space to explore what's going on for you. We will work together at your pace, exploring what maybe causing you difficulty. I believe that no one knows you better, than you know yourself. I won't be claiming I have the answers to your problems or how you 'should' live your life, I truly believe you are the expert on yourself, and I value and respect you, for who you are. Together I believe we can work on unlocking the power within you to make positive changes, choices and overall help enhance your wellbeing.
I have a range of experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors. From a broad spectrum of diversities, ethnicities, LGBTQ plus community, and SEN.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Help for Your Life
Starting your counselling journey can seem, at times like a daunting process, you're not alone in feeling like this.
You're taking the first step. You or someone who cares for you is doing the research, you've found my website, let me take the next step with you, I offer a free, no-obligation 20 minute Introductory session*, to see if I could be the right fit to help you.
Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. With counselling, you’ll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you.
INTRODUCTORY SESSION
I believe that successful therapy is established from the relationship that we build and it's important for you to feel that your counsellor is the right person for you. I offer a free 20 minute informal introductory session, via telephone or online.
In this session, we can have a chat about the counselling process, what you'd like to achieve from counselling and any other question or queries that you may have.
My aim is after our introduction, you're left with a sense of direction.
SESSIONS
Following the introductory session, If you decide you'd like to start your therapeutic journey with me, we will then discuss your preferred day and time for your weekly session.
Our session's are for the duration of 50 minutes, and this can either be for the short term or long term. Therapy can be provided face to face, online or by telephone, in order to best suit your needs.
"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
