Whilst I work with people from across all parts of society, my specialism is in LGBTQ lives, particularly gender.
Hello I'm Ellis Johnson, a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapeutic counsellor based in Brighton and Hove and a registered member of BACP. I have 5 years experience as an advocate, counsellor and trainer in the voluntary sector and I understand that for many people, asking for help can feel unfamiliar and anxiety-provoking. I also understand with the right support, counselling can be a transformative and validating experience that can make us feel more connected to ourselves and the world around us.

Feeling confused? Out of place? Not good enough? Therapy can offer you a space to explore these parts and connect more with your true self. I am an LGBT counsellor with experience in supporting people going through a range of confusion and distress including: anxiety and stress, family and relationship difficulties, sexuality and gender identity, low mood, loss, feeling stuck, and self esteem.

As a trans and bisexual woman, I passionately recognise the importance of being true to myself, and this philosophy underpins my counselling practice. My primary aim is to offer you a therapeutic space where you, too, can better understand who you are and embody that truth unreservedly. Many of us allow our worth and person to be defined by others, stopping us from realising and loving our most authentic selves. We fear being judged and rejected by those around us. As a result, we experience depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, self-hatred and other painful emotional problems that severely undermine our quality of life.

I am very happy to work with clients from LGBTQ communities.
Sometimes the challenges that we face can become too much. Maybe you've had enough of doing the same thing again and again in your relationships and life and don't know how to change. My practice can help you find a way through the despair or anger or sadness or flatness you're experiencing by working together in a way that suits you, personally. I believe that we can be damaged by the expectations of the world around us as well as by our earliest and most intimate relationships. Do get in touch at karenadlertherapy.com and let's see together how I can help you make the changes you desire.

Outside of my private work I manage a trans inclusive women's counselling service and volunteer some time working with survivors of domestic abuse.
Psychotherapy with me is based on having a safe, friendly space to explore all parts of you that are having difficulty in life. I have worked extensively with people who have suffered complex trauma. I work with associated issues such as depression, anxiety, self esteem, trust issues and trauma symptoms. I also work with a lot of issues around modern day living, the environment and systems we navigate and the difficulties we face as a result, including difficulties related to neurodiversity. I work at your pace, taking a collaborative approach to achieving your goals.

Finding a therapist and taking part in counselling can be a stressful process. You may be wish to work on a specific issue, event or problem in your life, or perhaps you are negotiating a major change or period of anxiety or depression. I believe everyone has the innate capacity to reach their full potential, but sometimes difficult experiences and relationships can stifle growth. I offer you a safe, empathic, and reflective space in which to negotiate blocks in your life, develop your self-esteem, and give you the confidence to follow your path.

I am the founder and Director at Therapy Nottingham, a pioneering Integrative psychotherapy service based in Nottingham city centre. Clients often have a strong sense that 'something is wrong' without knowing the exact nature of it. Issues around identity and relationships lead to some common questions that clients are trying to resolve include; how did this happen? what happened to my 'old' self? How do I move on? Who am I?

Hi, I'm looking forward to hearing from you! I want to hear your concerns and support you to work towards the things that are most important in your life. I feel that therapy should happen in a friendly, nurturing space in which you feel safe and comfortable to bring anything you want to talk about and work on. I usually suggest exercises and other resources to complete in between sessions in order to keep the work progressing.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.

If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.

How to find a therapist or counsellor in Nottingham?
When looking to find a therapist, start by considering training and credentials. Studies also indicate that the therapeutic alliance, or the relationship the client develops with the therapist, is an important factor in their ability to work together to achieve the client’s goals.

What method of therapy is right for me?
When it comes to treatment methods, there's no 'right way.’ Each method of therapy can be beneficial for a variety of issues. Psychologists in Nottingham specialise in therapeutic approaches such as CBT, EMDR, and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), among others. Finding a psychologist or counsellor who is a good fit for you is the most important step to discovering what type of therapy, or combination of therapeutic approaches, will meet your individual needs. Learn what to expect from different types of therapy and how they work.

Can I afford counselling?
Yes. Most counsellors offer reasonable rates or will work on a sliding scale basis. Many accept health insurance. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the counsellor.
