Women's Issues Counselling in EC4R

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.

Working in the heart of central London (EC4 and SW1W) I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist with a wealth of experience working with people who at times feel stuck and need help and understanding to navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, burn out, addiction, bereavement and relationship problems.

People come to therapy for lots of different reasons. You might be feeling anxious, depressed, stressed or unhappy, stuck or lost in life or in your relationships. Under pressure at work, not sure where your life is going? Maybe you feel as if the same patterns seem to keep repeating and causing hurt in your personal life and relationships, or you may have a crisis or specific problem you need to resolve or traumatic past experiences, such as abuse, bullying or bereavement. Everyone is different so whatever your own personal reasons for seeking therapy, I offer a safe and confidential place to talk and to achieve positive changes.

As an experienced Psychotherapist & Supervisor, I work with warmth, sensitivity and compassion, fully accepting and being present to your unique situation. I realise beginning therapy can feel daunting, but finding someone you feel able to talk to and share your thoughts and feelings with, can bring immense relief; offering you a pathway towards being able to cope better and lead a more contented life. Perhaps you're struggling with depression or anxiety related disorders, experiencing relationship difficulties or have memories of past trauma or a difficult childhood which are impacting on your ability to cope with day to day life?

Most of my clients struggle with something they find severely distressing in their life, often to the point that they feel stuck and unable to live life the way they want to. Many times this is related to earlier trauma and attachment-related issues. I intend to create a safe space for you to unpack what is at the root of your distress and help you connect with your feelings, values, beliefs and your body. I have deep respect for what has gotten you this far as well as the patterns you want to change and the direction you want to shift your life into. This can be a path of liberation, empowerment and deep self-connection.

I am a qualified integrative counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer short & long term counselling in Central London for individuals. I also provide online & telephone counselling. I offer a safe, confidential & empathetic space to explore, without judgement. I provide support to people struggling with anxiety, depression, alcohol & substance misuse, trauma & life transitions & challenges. I am an LGBTQI+ affirmative counsellor. I have extensive experience working with Gender, Sexuality & Relationship Diversity. Feel free to contact me to discuss the support you are looking for.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship, or sexuality issues? Do you feel stuck and lacking support? Do you feel overwhelmed by difficult situations or struggling with low self-esteem? Are you going through a life transition and finding it difficult to cope? Many of us may face hardships in life at some point and such times can be stressful, frightening, and lonely. Seeking help or support is not always easy. Talking to friends and family may be difficult, if not impossible as we may experience rejection, shame, guilt when we are most vulnerable.

Are you looking for someone to talk to but wonder what it will be like to tell someone you don't know about things that worry you and possibly cause you anxiety? Are you wondering about your relationships, about the dynamics, the love you feel or do not feel, trust and safety?I promise that within the safe and confidential boundaries of a therapeutic encounter I offer the opportunity to discuss and explore your feelings and help raise awareness of what it means to be 'you', both within relationships and on your own.
