About me
Hi, I'm Ellen, a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist at Kids' Therapy Works. I hold an MA in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Essex, with a specialist focus on children and adolescents. I also have a First Class Honours degree in Psychology and am a published researcher in the field.
I have worked as a school counsellor supporting adolescents with a wide range of challenges including trauma, bereavement, bullying, and identity. I also have experience as a support worker with Autism Anglia, which has given me a deep understanding of neurodivergent young people and their families.
My warm, empathic approach helps children feel at ease from the very first session. I believe that every child deserves to be heard and understood.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Masters Degree in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Essex. I also have a Degree in Psychology.
I am a member of the BACP.
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.
