Hi, I’m Ell, and I’m passionate about helping people who feel lost, stuck, or overwhelmed. I combine professional expertise, coaching skills, and personal insight to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for self-exploration, growth, and wellbeing.
My Qualifications & Experience
I bring a broad foundation of professional training to my practice:
- Psychology MSc
- FHT-Accredited CoachingCounselling & Psychotherapy (Member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society)
- Yoga Alliance 200-hour Certification
- Hypnotherapy (Member of The National Hypnotherapy Society)
I continue to develop my skills through CPD and further learning, including: ADHD & Autism, Trauma, Internal Family Systems, and Anxiety & Stress.
Beyond formal qualifications, I’ve personally navigated mental health challenges and understand how life can feel overwhelming. This lived experience informs my empathetic and practical approach to helping others.
My Approach to Therapy & Coaching
I believe that support should meet you where you are. Each person is unique, and your journey deserves a tailored approach. I offer a pluralistic approach, drawing from:
- Psychodynamic Therapy – exploring past experiences and unconscious patterns
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Understanding thought-behavior cycles and practical strategies
- Person-Centered Therapy – focusing on your personal pace and self-discovery
- Holistic Coaching – helping you set goals, create actionable plans, and develop resilience and self-awareness
I also integrate mind-body techniques, recognising how physical sensations and mental patterns influence one another – especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and overall wellbeing.
Sessions are relaxed, informal, and guided by your needs. There’s room for deep reflection, practical change, and yes – humour too! Life can be tough, and a little lightness can make the healing journey feel more human and sustainable.
What You Can Expect
Your first session is an opportunity for us to connect, explore what brought you here, and set gentle goals for your journey. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and we’ll move at your pace.
Throughout your sessions, you can expect:
- A safe, non-judgmental environment
- Empathetic listening
- A balance of reflection, practical tools, and self-discovery
- Flexibility to explore sensitive topics at your comfort level
- Coaching support to help you clarify goals, build strategies, and move forward confidently
My Values
- Safety & Trust: Creating a space where you feel heard and seen
- Authenticity: Being genuine, open, and curious alongside you
- Empowerment: Supporting you to find insight, resilience, and growth
Beyond Therapy
I practice what I teach! Yoga, weight training, walking, and adventures like hiking or riding my motorbike help me stay balanced and inspired. I love reading fantasy, exploring new ideas, and continuing my personal and professional growth – because learning never stops.
Mental Health Hub & Coaching Offerings
I also run a small mental health hub offering a low cost way to access tools and resources to aid in self-enquiry and your own journey. This includes journal prompts, movement practices, and more.
Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking for ongoing support, my hub and coaching sessions are designed to provide accessible, practical help for your mind, body, and life goals.
Why I Do This Work
Therapy and coaching are ways to shine light on the harder parts of life, understand your patterns, and grow into the person you want to be. You won’t always have quick fixes – but you won’t be alone. I’m here to guide, support, and cheer you on along the way.
