A warm hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I am Ellie, a qualified art psychotherapist. This means that other than talking, we could also look at creative ways for you to express yourself, as we may sometimes struggle to express ourselves with words, or it may be too overwhelming to do so. Allowing oneself to be vulnerable is difficult, so I truly commend you for making a first step in seeking support. We will work together to develop a therapeutic relationship and explore your challenges at your pace. I use a wide variety of evidence-based approaches to meet each client's unique needs. I have extensive experience in working with clients of different ethnicities, cultures and faiths.
A lot of my clinical work is trauma-informed working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced emotional, sexual and physical abuse, childhood trauma, and domestic violence (PTSD and Complex PTSD); as well as working with individuals who experience anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, addictions, personality disorders, self-harming tendencies, eating disorders, personal and work related stress, and neurodiversity.
I would love to offer you a confidential, non-judgmental, supportive and an empathic therapy space where you would feel safe, trust and be yourself. I am dedicated to improving clients welfare.
