About me
Are you seeking support to navigate life's challenges from the comfort of your own space? I offer flexible and accessible counselling services tailored to your needs.
About Me:
My name is Felicity Monfries-Ellett, a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) based in Croydon, CR0. With a Postgraduate Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have extensive experience supporting individuals and couples facing various issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, bereavement, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
My Approach:
I believe in creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. My integrative approach combines traditional therapeutic techniques with creative methods tailored to your unique needs. Recognising the importance of accessibility and convenience, I offer sessions exclusively through remote communication methods, ensuring you can receive support wherever you are.
Specialisations:
Anxiety & Depression: Helping you navigate and manage overwhelming emotions.
Relationship Challenges: Assisting couples and individuals in improving communication and resolving conflicts.
Stress Management: Providing tools to cope with life's pressures effectively.
Bereavement & Trauma: Supporting you through grief and past traumatic experiences.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Offering structured techniques to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring unconscious patterns and past experiences to foster deep, lasting change.

Individuals: £90 for 50 minutes
Couples: £120 for 1 hour

Note: All sessions are conducted in strict confidence, adhering to the ethical guidelines set forth by the BACP.
Please be aware that prolonged use of virtual communication platforms can contribute to fatigue. To mitigate this, I recommend scheduling regular breaks and discussing any concerns during our sessions.

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.
