Elbitha Christides

A warm hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I am Ellie, a qualified art therapist. This means that other than talking, we can also look at creative ways for you (that do not require any expenses) to express feelings and thoughts, as sometimes talking about difficult material continuously can be overwhelming. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable is difficult and I truly commend you for making a first step in seeking support. We will work together to create a therapeutic alliance and explore your troubles, as we look at ways to manage them. Much of my work is trauma-informed, working with relational trauma of different types.

This encourages us to explore how our most primary relationships have influenced the way we think, behave and relate to others in everyday life; how we respond to difficult situations; why we experience immense stress and anxiety. It is incredibly warming to see clients evolve and take control of their lives confidently.

I would love to offer you a non-judgmental, supportive and genuinely empathic therapeutic journey, where we can explore your challenges at your pace. Currently, I am offering online therapy. I am open to looking at session costs with you if you are a student, on low income, work part-time or if finances are difficult.

• Individual Therapy £60
• Couples Therapy £80

I believe it is very important that clients get a sense of their prospective therapist before confirming to go ahead with therapy - one must feel comfortable with their therapist. I offer a free 30 minute online session for our initial meeting so that we can get to know each other a little bit better and for you to decide if you would like to go ahead with therapy with me.
