About me
Hi, I'm Elle.
A lot of the people I work with are in their 20s or 30s, living in London, with a sense that life isn't looking the way that they imagined it would. This can show up as a pattern that keeps repeating in relationships or at work, an anxiety that sits just below the surface, or a growing disconnect between who you feel you are and the version of yourself you show to the world. Whatever it looks like for you, it can be a really exhausting feeling.
London has a particular way of making all of this harder. It's a city that can feel simultaneously full of people and profoundly lonely, where everyone seems to be moving fast and in the right direction, sometimes giving people a worry that they will be, or a feeling that they are, being left behind.
Therapy with me is a space where none of the performance, that might feel necessary in other parts of your life, is required. I work relationally and interactively, meaning that sessions rarely involve long silences or me nodding quietly to what you're saying. I'll ask questions, offer perspectives you might not have considered, and gently challenge the stories you've been telling yourself that might be keeping you stuck somewhere that you've outgrown.
I originally trained as an actor and this shapes how I work. Sometimes we might use a more creative approach, though only ever as an invitation, and always at a pace that feels right for you.
I've worked clinically in the NHS, the Personal Growth and Development Centre and the Gestalt Centre, and hold a PGDip in Gestalt Therapy. My private practice is in both Wimbledon and Earls Court, and I always offer a free 20-minute introductory call, so that we can get a sense of each other before committing to weekly sessions.
Feel free to reach out at info@ellerobertsontherapy.com. I'd love to hear from you.

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.
