About me
Hello, I'm Ellie.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist based in London, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My work is grounded in the belief that many of our struggles make sense when we understand the emotional stories and relationships behind them.
My approach to therapy is relational and integrative. In practice, this means that the relationship we build together becomes an important part of the work. Therapy offers a space where you can speak openly about your experience, and where we can explore the patterns, thoughts and feelings that may be shaping your life.
While my training draws on several therapeutic approaches, my work is grounded in a humanistic philosophy. At its core is the belief that people grow and change when they feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted.
From this foundation, I draw on a range of perspectives depending on what feels most helpful for you. This may include exploring how past relationships and experiences shape our present (psychodynamic), developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself (CFT), or finding new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions (ACT).
Chapters in life that I can support with:
- Anxiety
- OCD, or preoccupied / obsessive thoughts
- Relationship challenges
- Negative body image, disordered eating
- Feeling sad, lonely or overwhelmed
- Feeling stuck or lost
- Struggling to find meaning
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a BACP-accredited Masters in Counselling & Psychotherapy where I was awarded a distinction.
I have worked within a variety of therapeutic settings, including low-cost and accessible therapy services, university counselling services, and specialist eating disorder services in both clinical and non-clinical roles.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work at Orri, a CQC-rated ‘Outstanding’ treatment service specialising in eating disorder recovery.
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.

Further information
Initial enquiry and assessment
After you get in touch, we’ll arrange an initial assessment session. This is an opportunity for me to learn more about you and what has brought you to therapy, and for you to get a sense of what it might be like to work together.
Weekly sessions
If we decide to work together, we’ll arrange weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes (often referred to as a ‘therapy hour’), held at the same time and day each week.
Reviewing as we go
There is no fixed timeframe for therapy. However, I usually recommend committing to an initial 6-week period to settle into the process, before reviewing how it’s going.
