Welcome – I’m Ella, a therapist based in the UK.
Therapy helps us navigate life in its most difficult and troubling moments. In our fast-paced world many of us struggle with feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm and loneliness. Perhaps you have experienced significant loss and grief, or you are struggling with important relationships in your life and don’t how to express and communicate your emotions. Sometimes the cause of our feelings is not that clear, but we have a nagging sense that something in our life is not quite right. I can help.
Experiences such as anxiety, stress and depression can be symptoms of a deeper unease. Over time emotions can become trapped or inaccessible to us, and often we harbour hidden thoughts and feelings that have never been said out loud. Together we will build a relationship that allows you to explore and express these parts of yourself. We will empower you to see and to celebrate your whole self, gaining new perspectives and understanding. We will find what works for you.
Clients find me kind, honest and insightful. I’m active and present in sessions. I will offer thoughts and reflections where appropriate to help you deepen your self-awareness and find self-compassion. While it’s important to explore the past, it won’t be the only thing we focus on. I work with the here and now; working with feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations.
I also work with couples. I can help you both explore ways you can better communicate, feel seen and heard by each other and tend to your relationship.
The best way to know if we’re a good fit is to have a brief call or an initial session. If you are interested in working with me then please get in touch. I offer a completely confidential, non-judgemental and accepting environment whatever your concern may be. The initial session is an opportunity for us to meet, explore what you may need and how we could work together. There is no obligation to make a commitment beyond that.
If you decide I am not the right person for you these links take you to on-line therapist directories: BACP and UKCP.
