About me

Hello, my name is Elle.

I run a weekly private practice in London and work with adult clients and couples face-to-face, online, and by telephone.

I charge daytime and evening fees during the week for in-person, online, or telephone sessions.

I also offer weekend sessions nationwide online and by telephone at a much lower concessionary fee (limited availability).

I am an experienced mental health practitioner with several thousand clinical hours as a therapist. I also supervise other psychotherapists and counsellors, and I am currently training to become an EMDR practitioner.

Alongside this, I am a trainee hypnotherapist studying and training at diploma level. I am registered on the Hypnotherapy Directory for trainee and qualified practitioners who train in person to high standards, with qualifications recognised by OFQUAL (UK Gov). The Professional Standards Agency (PSA) accredits their register, ensuring strong public protection.

First Session is An Assessment:

Our first session is a 1.5-hour assessment that comprises a full history, after which we move to 50-minute sessions weekly or fortnightly. The assessment costs more than a standard weekly session because it is longer and can be conducted face-to-face, online or via telephone.

Daytime Assessment Fee: £135

Evening Assessment Fee: £150

Concessionary Assessment Fee: £80

I am an accredited professional registrant of the NCPS, which means I have demonstrated that I am “considered by the society to be safe, competent and ethical to practice the vocation of counselling/psychotherapy”.

I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I strive to make our sessions interactive and collaborative, giving you the space to reflect and find your path forward at your own pace.

In Bermondsey, I work alongside Dr Doyle, Meow-meow, Bertie, and Rocco. They're highly trained therapy cats. Their specialism is sitting on laps and being stroked, and they take their duties seriously.

I tailor my approach to your needs, drawing on therapies such as psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, transactional analysis, Gestalt therapy, pluralistic therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy to best support you. If you would like to learn more about how I work, please read on.

We all need a space where we can feel seen and heard. Sometimes, therapy might be the first time you've found such a safe place to be yourself. Working on your identity could mean getting to know someone you might quite like. It could also mean learning to appreciate and love this version of yourself!

Constantly on AI, trying to make sense of your mental health?
Do you use AI to write replies to friends and family via messages because of anxiety about saying the wrong thing?
Are you concerned about overusing AI to explore your feelings, and do you feel stuck in repetitive cycles?
Have you been experiencing trichotillomania, also known as trich or TTM, which is when someone cannot resist the urge to pull out their hair? You;
Perhaps you are starting GLP-1 medications for health reasons and want to talk about concerns? Or you have taken them and are finding life hard adjusting to the weight loss and body issues that have come up?
Anxiety around global geopolitical instability and its potential effects on your career and future, which is impacting your mental health, leading to additional anxiety.
Challenges living in multi-occupancy properties with housemates and navigating these relationships.
Does it feel like you're just about keeping up with everything life throws at you is too much lately?
Managing your career, relationships, friendships, dating life, and exploring your identity is not easy to balance, and you are out of alignment, feeling overwhelmed, and want to establish a baseline.
Family issues
Or are you lonely?

You don’t have to face these struggles alone. In our sessions, you can openly share and start to understand the obstacles in your way. Together, we’ll aim for greater clarity, confidence, and a life that truly feels like yours.

I provide a calm space to untangle your thoughts and identify what’s holding you back. Let’s work together to help you feel more confident and clear-headed.

What kind of clients do I see?

I see clients like you!

I work with a range of clinical issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationships, ADHD, and much more. My specialism is working with adults who are survivors of violence in adulthood and childhood, those who have complex mental health issues, those who have experienced trauma in their childhood or adult life, and those living with chronic health issues.

I won't know exactly how you feel, and I won't pretend to, as we are all unique. I do, however, bring professional knowledge and life experience, a strong awareness of how symptoms can affect people, and the ability to develop coping tools that make life more manageable.

I also work with adults with complex trauma from childhood, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, OCD, study & exams, impostor syndrome, relationships, identity, leaving home, sharing a new home with housemates, and challenges with self-confidence, so they can feel more in control and supported in their daily lives.

Life doesn’t have to feel like a never-ending rollercoaster, juggling relationships and advancing. Life can feel overwhelming when balancing relationships, career, and social pressures. Understanding where you fit in this changing world, and managing technology concerns, can also be challenging. All out alone. Contact me now to book a session and start finding balance, clarity, and direction together.

A detailed area of my specialism:

My clinical speciality is childhood trauma. This includes sexual abuse, neglect, emotional and physical abuse, and the effects of intergenerational trauma on individuals.

I began my specialist training by working one day a week at One in Four. I engaged in a two-year-long therapy program with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, intergenerational trauma, emotional abuse, neglect, kidnapping, torture, rape, and violence in South-East and North London.

Trauma can be complex and varies for each survivor. Still, it can cause symptoms like depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, addictions, relationship problems, trust issues, low self-worth, low self-esteem, and a lack of confidence.

What happens in our sessions?

I take a holistic approach, examining mind, body, and spirit. I focus on enhancing the well-being of the 'whole person.' I use a range of stabilisation, coping, and other tools. You can incorporate these into your life to help you feel more grounded.

Ultimately, we will strengthen all aspects of your life that need focus and work toward becoming the best version of yourself. We will create a personalised roadmap and baseline to help you stay grounded and present for your future self.

Accessibility:

I currently do not have wheelchair access, and there is no step-free access.

What is the best way to contact me?

Reach out today by telephone, email, or text to book your first session or to ask any questions. You can also visit my website to get started.

I very much look forward to hearing from you soon.
