About me
Hi, I’m Ellie.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when life feels overwhelming, relationships feel difficult, or you’re carrying experiences that are hard to make sense of on your own.
Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer psychotherapy and counselling for children, young people and adults. You may be experiencing anxiety or low mood, struggling within relationships, navigating grief or change, or finding that experiences from the past are still affecting how you feel today.
My approach is warm, relational and integrative. I believe that meaningful therapy begins with feeling safe enough to be yourself, without judgement or pressure to have everything figured out. Together, we can explore what is happening for you now while gently making sense of the experiences and patterns that may sit underneath it.
I don't offer quick fixes or tell you what you should do; instead, I work alongside you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Therapy can be short-term or longer-term and open-ended, depending on what you need.
Children & Young People
Children and young people don’t always communicate what they are experiencing through words. I adapt therapy to each young person, using talking, creativity, play and shared activities depending on their age, personality and what feels most comfortable for them.
I work with young people navigating anxiety, low mood, anger, relationships and family difficulties, as well as more complex experiences including trauma, sexual abuse, attachment difficulties, self-harm, bereavement and care experience.
Adults
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship and attachment difficulties, low self-esteem, grief and life changes, as well as the lasting impact of trauma and difficult earlier experiences.
Sometimes you may know exactly what has brought you to therapy; at other times, you might simply know that something doesn’t feel quite right. Therapy can offer a space to understand yourself more deeply and begin to make sense of patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange an initial session, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours. If you're waiting to hear from me, please do check your junk or spam folder, as occasionally my replies may be filtered there.

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.
