Online Counselling for Lichfield

I have experience of working with a wide range of difficulties, and I offer an individually tailored treatment plan. I have experience working with depression and low mood, relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, OCD, eating related difficulties, chronic pain, and low self-esteem. Some individuals also seek support for emotional difficulties arising from past/traumatic experiences, life transitions, being a victim of crime or abuse, difficulties at work, difficulties arising from health problems or being involved in an accident or crime.

Life can involve upsetting, stressful, or traumatic events that can impact us in so many ways. You may have anxiety and depression, struggle with low self esteem or have suicidal/intrusive thoughts. You may have problems controlling anger, or struggle with neurodiversity in a neurotypical world. Maybe your thoughts or feelings are impacting relationships around you, or vice versa. Whatever the circumstance, I can help you understand yourself and others in a safe and non-judgmental space, for new or long term troubles. I also offer coping techniques to reduce intensity/frequency of negative thoughts, images, and physical sensations

I work with anyone 16+ and offer a confidential, non-judgemental approach to help you work through and process any issues you might want support with. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression & loss (including traumatic bereavement). I have extensive personal and working experience of Autism and ADHD. As a specialist fertility and perinatal counsellor. I can help you work through the difficult emotions infertility can bring, inc if you are considering fertility treatment, or are going through or are ending treatment. I am experienced in working with perinatal issues, inc pregnancy loss at any stage of pregnancy.

My way of working is somewhat dependent on you and your wants from a therapy space. I am trained to work with CBT, person-centred and attachment based therapy. I have done additional training in: Somatic Abolitionism, Emotional Regulation Skills and CBT adapted to work with those that self-define as autistic. I have worked with many clients and believe therapy works best by meeting the client where they are and towards what they identify they need. I work openly with race and other forms of systemic oppression in therapy and support clients from minoritised identities to explore this in therapy.

My name is Ellen. I love my job. I work hard to ensure you will receive the highest possible service from me, and to ensure you feel supported and safe throughout the time we spend together. I am a qualified Counsellor working in the Lichfield area (face to face) and with clients across the UK (online). Talking to me will give you the opportunity to have an open and honest conversation with me about whatever is troubling you. Working at your pace, we can talk things through and explore how to make the changes you want to see in your life. I won't judge you and I won't offer advice.
