Counselling in Moorgate, London
I work with the effect of childhood trauma in adults. Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, mood swings, low self esteem, trust issues and even the occasional bodily aches? Yes, past trauma have a habit of holding on to your body, making it difficult to manage your emotions. You want a relief from the constant pain and need to be understood. Sometimes you just want those closest to you to ask the simplest questions like what happened to you? But often times you feel isolated, struggles to connect with people or find meaningful relationships.

You may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or have a sense of dissatisfaction or unease. You might be experiencing social isolation, loneliness, or difficulties in your relationships. I believe human connection is now more important than ever. As an experienced, trained, and registered Person-Centred therapist, creating a warm and trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I offer a safe, empathic space where you feel heard, valued and understood. This can support you to develop more awareness, acceptance, and compassion for all aspects of yourself, leading to a more satisfying, meaningful and fulfilling life.

Have you experienced trauma? Are your traumatic experiences impacting your day to day life? Is therapy that takes your cultural background into account important? If so, I am a trauma specialist and can help with difficulties associated with all kinds of trauma. I work in a way that acknowledges the importance of your cultural identity. whether that is similar or different to mine.

I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

My name is Ella and I am a therapist based in the UK. You may be struggling with anxiety, social anxiety, stress, depression, overwhelm, feelings of loneliness, significant loss and grief. Maybe you are struggling with important relationships in your life. Perhaps your struggle is not that clear and you have a feeling that something isn't quite right. I can help. I have helped clients find confidence, clarity, understanding, self-esteem, a way to express themselves and find meaning in an increasingly demanding world. I also work with couples helping them to find ways to better communicate, to feel seen and heard by each other.

Something isn’t quite right. It may be that you can’t stop yourself from worrying. Or you are compulsively avoiding things (places, people, certain situations). Perhaps you find yourself flying into a sudden, uncontrollable, panic. It may be that you are feeling down: you can’t shake the sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness in your life. You may be feeling worthless and guilty too. It could be your relationships that aren’t working (partner, friends, family, boss, or colleagues). Perhaps past experiences are haunting you so that you lose your connection to the present and the people in it. Perhaps it's all of the above.
