ABOUT ME
I'm Ellie, a qualified counsellor with a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and I have experience working with both children and adults. I hold an enhanced DBS and I'm also a registered member of the BACP.
As an integrative counsellor, I use a combination of psychodynamic and person-centered therapy. However, to me, counselling is simply a way for you to express yourself in a safe, empathic space, free from judgement. I won’t give you homework or suggestions on how you ‘should’ be living your life or changes you ‘should’ make. I will be alongside you while you explore the problems, their origins and your own possible solutions, leaving you feeling empowered and in charge of your own life and the choices you make.
Counselling is a lot about our relationship; you need to feel comfortable with your counsellor or it may hinder any progress you want to make. This is why I offer a 30 minute consultation to see if I’m the right counsellor for you and to make sure we can work together. This consultation is £20.
WHY ROCKHOPPER?
I’m a big fan of penguins and rockhoppers (indeed, many penguins) don’t have an easy journey; they jump, they fall and they try again. But they always end up where they need to be.
