Ellen Baldwin Couples Counsellor & Individual Counsellor

About us

About me

My name is Ellen and I'm a specialist relationship Counsellor, using an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I am passionate about working with couples and I offer a warm, confidential, non-judgmental space to work collaboratively with each couple, to understand the issues they are experiencing, and to offer support to improve and restore their relationship.

I also have over 14 years experience offering individual counselling sessions. Individual counselling offers you a safe, supportive, confidential space to talk through whatever difficulties you are facing, and to explore difficult thoughts and feelings.

These are some of the common problems I work with:
-relationship difficulties- with partners, children, parents, family, friends
-anxiety
-stress
-worry
-low self-esteem
-depression
-loss or bereavement
-spirituality or faith issues
-trauma

Session details
I offer weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes, which will continue for an agreed period of time. I work on both a short-term, and an open-ended basis.

How many sessions will we need?
During your first session we will discuss the number of sessions you may wish to have. If you want to come short-term then we can agree a specific number of sessions and a realistic goal to work on. Some people prefer an open-ended arrangement where they can finish when they feel they have completed the work. I always review on a regular basis what we are working on and how therapy is helping you.

Where do sessions take place?
I use a comfortable and private consulting room in central Hove which is convenient for bus and train routes, and there is paid parking nearby.
