Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels that no one could possibly understand how we are feeling and what we have been going through. I aim to build a trusting relationship where you feel able to bring the things that are important to you.
These may be present or past issues that are affecting you; the need to navigate a significant change or challenge; or a desire to open up new possibilities, or find new levels of wellbeing or fulfilment.
Each person is different, and I will be looking to help find ways of working together that are helpful and empowering for you. I believe that, somewhere within each of us, are the resources and wisdom we need to meet what life brings. Having a compassionate person alongside us can sometimes make a big difference to how fully we can access those parts of ourselves.
I will support you to explore the things that matter to you, and I may encourage you to give attention to what you feel as you do. I believe that can help you find greater stability, freedom, power and choice.
I am able to work with people with a very wide range of needs, but my areas of special interest include working with:
Supporting people to grow their self-connection, self-acceptance, self-trust, self-care, freedom, empowerment and authenticity.
Supporting people to liberate themselves from the stories they hold about life that no longer serve them.
Peoples’ relationship with the things they have associated with shame, and felt they needed to hide.
Peoples’ struggles with harder to accept feelings, including things like anger, fury, rage, resentment and disgust: Helping them get to know the needs behind their emotional responses, and find healthy ways to manage and express them.
Relationships of all kinds, including the conflicts and challenges that arise within them. (I offer this within one-to-one, rather than relationship, counselling.)
Additional areas of focus: Trauma and abuse, Grief, Sleeping disorders, Coaching, Abandonment, Antisocial personality, Attachment issues, Avoidant personality, Blended family issues, Body image, Caregiver issues and stress, Codependency, Commitment issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Coping with natural or human-caused disaster, Divorce and separation, Emptiness, Family problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Hoarding, Impulsivity, Infidelity, Isolation / loneliness, Jealousy, Life purpose, Men's issues, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders, Narcissism, Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Personality disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Process addiction (porn, exercise, gambling), Self-harm, Self-love, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young adult issues

Elle is a very kind and understanding therapist. She listens well to my concerns and touches on them in different session, even when I don’t recognize the connection. I enjoy my sessions with her :)

Elle really gets the nuances of what I’m saying and always seems to pinpoint exactly what I mean. After trying therapy a couple of times before, this is the first time I actually look forward to my sessions.

I found in Elle a caring and nurturing soul, helping me dig deep as well as challenging my views of the world (in relationships as well as in my profession). Often i found that no matter in what deep dark waters i was swimming at times, Elle was there to skilfully draw my attention to the light and 3 months in a feel a strength and clarity in my decision making and boundaries that have alluded me in the past. I love her directness as well as curious nature and her active listening skills are something that I look up to and strive to develop in myself. I am very fortunate to have someone so dedicated, professional and compassionate in my life and would wholeheartedly recommend her.
