Ellen Eade

I currently have availability for new clients and offer online sessions during the day, evenings and weekends. Face-to-face sessions are available on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Hello, my name is Ellen. I am a person-centred counsellor offering both online sessions and face-to-face sessions from a private counselling room in Uckfield, Sussex. I believe that feeling truly heard is the first step towards making positive changes in your life and I provide a warm and non-judgmental space where you can talk openly about what is happening for you.

There are many different reasons why someone might decide to come to counselling. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationships, self-esteem or difficult experiences from your past. You may be facing a particular situation that feels difficult to manage or trying to understand why you feel the way you do. Whether you know exactly what you want to talk about or simply know that something doesn't feel right, my role is to work alongside you as you navigate the experiences and challenges in your life.

With a background in psychology and education, I have worked with people and families experiencing complex situations, a range of mental health difficulties and trauma. This has shown me that no two people or situations are the same, which is why I value a person-centred approach that recognises your experiences as unique to you.

I offer both online counselling and face-to-face sessions from a private counselling room in Uckfield. My approach is person-centred, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. I aim to offer space where you can talk openly and feel heard, without fear of being judged. We will work at your pace, with you deciding what feels important to bring to our sessions and what you would like to focus on. I work with clients on both a short and long-term basis, depending your needs and reasons for seeking counselling.

I offer an initial free 20-minute session to explore what's bringing you to counselling and what we might work on together. This can take place by phone or online. This is also an opportunity for you to get a feel for whether you think I am the right counsellor for you, with no pressure to commit to ongoing sessions.
