I help with anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, grief, relationship difficulties and alcohol or substance concerns, drawing from CBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, DBT skills and EMDR.
Many people come to therapy while still functioning on the outside, but privately feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, burnt out, ashamed or unsure how much longer they can keep carrying things alone. My ideal clients are people who want more than a quick coping tip: they want to understand themselves, break long-standing patterns and make practical, lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, respectful and clear. We make sense of what is happening, identify what keeps it going, and build a way forward that is realistic for your life.

I have recently completed EMDR therapy training (June 2026), which I am looking forward to bringing into my practice!
Hi! I'm Ellie.
Starting therapy can be scary, especially if you don’t know what it's like or what to expect. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need a space to talk, I offer a calm, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment where you can feel safe to open up, at your own pace.
My goal is to understand you, to help bring about meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, neurodivergence, or life changes, we can work together to explore what’s going on and develop strategies and tools that feel relevant for you.

I will give you a space where your experiences aren't just diagnosed, where the goal isn't to be 'fixed', but to work to develop a way of living that feels authentic, manageable, and grounded in your unique strengths.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
