About me and my therapy practice
Dear person in front of me,
I welcome all the parts of you here; I am here to be with you in this space that I wish for you to feel safe in while you explore your inner world and processes with me alongside you. In a space free from judgment, I invite you to be exactly who you are.
My name is Ellen and I am a person-centred counselling practitioner with a BA(Hons) degree in Person-Centred Counselling. This approach to counselling is non-directive and client lead, I am not here to offer you advice or make diagnoses, rather to be with you in your experience allowing you to explore and express yourself as you wish to. Honouring your individuality, I believe that you are the expert on you. My intention is to see you and hear you, facilitating an environment that opens the pathway to self-understanding and acceptance of who you are. Working in a way that is most restorative and healing for you.
“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change”
-Carl Rogers
Practice description
My in person practice is in an accessible location, in a comfy confidential room. I aim for each client to feel welcomed into a calm atmosphere.
I am an intuitive, empathic individual who's aim is to hold space for you and meet you as the person that I am and the person that you are. I wish for you to feel seen and heard in this space with me, weather we work together in person, online or within a group setting.
My first session
In your first session we will work together to establish a contract, allowing for us both to discuss, set boundaries or ask any questions about the therapy to ensure that this is the right step for you and to ensure an understanding of the therapy is agreed upon. It is also a chance for us to meet each other, and connect. I believe that the client counsellor relationship plays an important role in how facilitative of healing this space is for you, so I wish to offer you a warm and genuine welcome.
