Chronic Illness Counselling in SW7

Do you feel ripped apart and shaken to your core? You don't want to be a burden to your friends and you can't talk to family, it's all so overwhelming. The deepest pit of despair and hurt, mixed emotions, anguish, anger, confusion, barely coping with intense non- stop life changes. Loss of family, partner or treasured friend, sudden or chronic illness, even loss of the person you used to be! Aging, guilt about lifestyle, fear of a new job and moving... the prickly heartache from losing your beloved pet. You don't even have the strength to take the next step, to pull yourself through while trying to reach your old self.

Hi there, my name is Ellie and I’m a highly qualified integrative therapist. I have a great deal of experience working with numerous presenting issues, and use approaches including Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centred therapy to support my clients. I start by assessing each client, and collaboratively tailoring sessions to suit their individual needs. My work is underpinned by humanistic core values of empathy and compassion, as I find these highly important in building a strong therapeutic relationship.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I feel passionate about helping other women thrive. So, I typically work with women, who are looking to effect change in their lives. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of women, who felt stuck, with little or no control over their personal or professional lives. They reported feeling hopeless, frustrated, and tired of the status quo. Some, saw their identity no longer aligning to their values, or their purpose threatened by the natural order of things like children leaving, unworkable relationships, loss of loved ones, stress at work, or hormonal changes and even traumatic experiences that left them wondering...What Next?

Do you experience anxiety, low mood, hopelessness, loneliness, and an overall sense of feeling stuck and lost, not knowing how to move forward? Maybe you are dealing with challenging life events, or you are experiencing problems with relationships that impact your day-to-day life? We all face difficult situations at some point. You may feel that these challenges are too stressful to handle by yourself. Getting the right support can make a significant and profound difference, helping you to manage your emotions and advance your personal growth.

I understand that seeking help can be a difficult decision and I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling and meaningful life which I am committed to assisting you achieve. I am here to help you on your journey towards self-discovery, healing and personal transformation and together we can work towards creating a life that is aligned with your values, goals and aspirations.

Life and relationships are not easy to navigate, and if you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, or going through difficult times, things can feel overwhelming. I understand how difficulties cause you to lose your sense of control, your overall wellbeing and even your sense of who you are. These are normal experiences, but if you’re struggling to feel a basic sense of joy about being you, or if your relationships are causing you more pain than pleasure, then it might be time to seek help. It can be difficult to imagine how talking therapy can help, but together we can work towards symptomatic relief and the freedom to be youself.

Are you having feelings of stress or anxiety? Have you been struggling with friendships or family relationships? Are you dealing with loss or change in your life? Or perhaps feeling stuck? When life presents us with challenges, we can sometimes navigate these issues with the help of friends and family but there are moments when we may feel overwhelmed. Equally, you don't need to be having a crisis to see a therapist. I can provide a fresh perspective with a warm, non-judgemental, empathic approach. Together we can explore your feelings, past experiences and patterns of behaviour that might be preventing you from moving forward.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step but it can also be a daunting one. It can be hard to know where to turn to or who to trust. I understand this firsthand as I too sought therapy many years ago to help address my own battle with depression. Indeed it was this experience that ignited my passion for helping others struggling with their mental health and which led me to re-train as a therapist. I feel very privileged to be able to support people in their time of need and strive to do so by providing a non-judgemental, compassionate and collaborative space for talking.

As an IFS therapist, I offer a safe space to help you to understand challenges and where the emotional pain comes from. I focus therapy on working with core wounds. Core wounds are the reason why you might experience fear & anxiety. They can be a source of feelings of shame & abandonment which often lead to confusion, conflicts & feelings of “unsafety”, especially in meaningful relationships. Further causing destructive behavior toward yourself/others or your body. In our work together, we will use the pain as a guide and catalyst for healing, self-discovery, and self-realization. Ultimately leading to a fulfilling and joyful life.
