Background and approach

Ellie commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, clarify their values, and practise small, doable changes between sessions. Practical skills and straightforward reflection are used alongside supportive conversation.

She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and trauma. Other areas she supports include sleep problems, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and parenting strain. Ellie also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue and life transitions.

Sessions can explore attachment experiences and how they affect current relationships. When relevant, she offers tools from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to manage strong emotions and from mindfulness approaches to reduce reactivity. Ellie aims to help people make steady, manageable progress towards clearer goals.

How Ellie blends proven approaches for online therapy

Ellie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to focus on actions that match their values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try out practical behaviour changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it targets patterns that keep difficulties going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ellie will work with each person to choose methods that suit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The emphasis is on trying things that feel manageable and useful rather than forcing a single technique.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still using the same therapeutic tools.
