About me
My name is Ella and I am a therapist based in the UK. You may be struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm, feelings of loneliness, significant loss and grief. Maybe you are struggling with important relationships in your life. Perhaps your struggle is not that clear and you have a feeling that something isn't quite right. I can help.
Experiences such as anxiety, stress, unease in life can be symptoms of something deeper going on. Often, the deeper emotions can be trapped, not accessible and/or not allowed out. In therapy, we will explore and process these deeper emotions as well as the obstacles and the core beliefs that may be resisting access to them.
I have helped clients find confidence, clarity, understanding, self-esteem, a way to express themselves and find meaning in an increasingly demanding world. I also work with couples helping them to find ways to better communicate, to feel seen and heard by each other.
I offer a completely confidential, non-judgemental environment to help explore and manage difficult thoughts, feelings and experiences. I am active and present in sessions. I will offer thoughts and reflections. I work with empathy and care. While it’s important to explore the past, it won’t be the only thing we focus on.
I have an integrative approach and use several modalities depending on what your therapeutic journey may need; Psychodynamic, Psychosynthesis, working with Internal Family Systems parts, and Gestalt. I work with the here and now; working with feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.
I work on a weekly basis and I am currently working face to face, online via Zoom. I have a consulting room in Central London EC4.
If you are interested in working with me then please get in touch to arrange an initial session. The initial session is an opportunity for us to meet, explore what you may need and how we could work together. There is no obligation to make a commitment beyond that.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an integrative approach and use several modalities depending on what your therapeutic journey may need; Psychodynamic, Psychosynthesis, Internal Family Systems, and Gestalt. I work with the here and now; working with feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.
Having spent 18 years working in the financial sector, I am familiar with the pressures and demands that can come with this line of work and the effects it can have on mental health. I can help clients who are feeling overwhelmed with work load, experiencing anxiety, stress and panic attacks. These experiences can often affect our personal lives, particularly at home putting pressure on close relationships, causing depression, low self-esteem, and perhaps leading to a lack of meaning and purpose in life. If this sounds familiar, I can help.
I am also familiar with the pressures and anxieties young people face today, particularly in a world increasingly lead by social media. I can help navigate through the increasingly high demands you may be experiencing to “be someone”, “be an adult” or “be successful” in life. Together, we can look at how these demands are putting pressure on your mental and emotional health and find ways to discover your self-worth and self-esteem.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
