About me

BACP Registered Psychotherapist & Counsellor, based in Porthcawl and Clydach. Providing a warm, supportive and confidential space for adults, children and couples.

Hi, my name is Ella and I provide Counselling for Couples, Adults & Young People - I am deeply committed to therapy and its transformative potential in helping individuals navigate through challenging life experiences such as abuse, neglect, trauma, and loss. These encounters often shape one's perception of the world and impact relationships profoundly. In my practice, I provide a secure, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your struggles and cultivate fresh perspectives. With extensive experience, I specialise in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, as well as relationship and trust issues.

The counselling rooms where I practice in Porthcawl and Clydach offer a welcoming and confidential therapeutic atmosphere, enabling you to address your concerns in a discreet setting.

I offer long term and short-term sessions, and brief therapy.

The type of clients I can work with………

Adults

Anxiety and depression
Stress and overwhelm
Trauma and difficult experiences
Loss and bereavement
Self-esteem/confidence
Life transitions

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, trauma and significant life changes.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you come to counselling. Sometimes having a confidential space to make sense of what’s happening can be the first step towards feeling differently.

Couples

Relationship difficulties
Communication
Trust
Separation/ relationship changes

Relationships can go through difficult periods. You may be struggling to communicate, experiencing repeated arguments, feeling disconnected from one another or trying to navigate a significant change in your relationship.

Couples counselling provides a confidential space for both people to be heard, to explore what is happening within the relationship and to consider how you would like things to move forward.

Children & young people

Anxiety
Emotional difficulties
Confidence/self-esteem
Bereavement/loss
Difficult experiences and relationships

It can be difficult for parents and carers to know when a child or young person might benefit from counselling.

I offer a safe, age-appropriate space where children and young people can explore their feelings and experiences in a way that feels comfortable for them.

I have experience working with children and young people through my professional background in counselling, education and social care.

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with the person you work with.

If you’re considering counselling and would like to find out whether I could be the right therapist for you, please get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what you’re looking for, the difficulties you’re experiencing and whether face-to-face therapy in Porthcawl or Clydach could be helpful.

You don’t need to know exactly what you need before you contact me — we can talk it through together.

Training, qualifications & experience

I possess a foundation degree in Counselling from University of Wales Trinity St. David and a degree in Social Work from Leeds University. Additionally, I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, adhering strictly to their ethical code of conduct in my practice.

Throughout my training and post-qualification journey, I've had the opportunity to work with diverse organisations across Neath and Port Talbot, Powys, Merthyr, Swansea, and Carmarthenshire. These include Powys NHS, where I focused on eating disorders as a Specialist Practitioner, as well as roles in education as a college counsellor and education social worker. Additionally, I've collaborated with Dyfed-Powys Police, Barnardos, Cloud 9, and various young children's charities such as NCH Action for Children. My experience spans working with a broad spectrum of clients, both individuals and couples.

Eating Disorder Specialist

I am an experienced eating disorder practitioner with five years’ specialist experience working within the NHS, supporting children, young people and adults experiencing eating difficulties and eating disorders.

I have specialist training in the Maudsley Model and CBT-E (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders) and have supported individuals and families through assessment, treatment and recovery.

I understand that eating disorders can affect not only the individual but also those around them. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and non-judgemental, creating a safe space to explore difficulties with food, eating, body image and the thoughts and emotions that can maintain an eating disorder.

I can support people experiencing difficulties such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating and other eating-related difficulties. I also recognise that you may not have a formal diagnosis to benefit from specialist support.

If you’re worried about your relationship with food, eating or your body, you don’t need to wait until things become overwhelming before seeking help.

My approach is humanistic and person-centred. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your experiences without judgement.

I work collaboratively with you, rather than telling you what you should do. Together we can explore what you’re experiencing, understand patterns that may be affecting you and consider what you would like to change.
