Hi, I'm Ella - the integrative counsellor behind Under the Willow Counselling and Therapy. Have you ever felt unseen, unheard, misunderstood? Has this made you feel alone, lost, or disconnected from yourself? Maybe you have developed anxiety or depression, relationships have become tense, work is unmanageable, or you have poor coping skills. You are not alone in this.
I offer a warm, compassionate and safe space for you to be wholeheartedly you. I work in an integrative way which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches during our work together - it is all tailored to your specific needs. Additionally, I have specialist experience working with survivors of sexual violence and rape.
If this sounds like you, you don't have to suffer alone. You are important and deserve to be seen, heard and understood. I am based in the Charnwood area in a cosy garden room, surrounded by greenery and under a big willow tree. There is free parking and lots of flexibility for ways of working together.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety and the after effects of experiencing trauma related to sexual violence or rape. Initially, we will look at what your needs and expectations are and tailor a plan for working together so that you begin to feel more yourself. Many clients begin to regain a sense of self soon after.

I am integrative in my approach but enjoy using CBT, psychodynamic and somatic therapy. I also enjoy working creatively. Initially, we will discuss different ways of working and what would suit you and your needs best. With CBT for example, we'd look at how your thoughts and emotions affect your behaviour and learn ways of swapping those thoughts for more positive ones.
