About

Hello, my name is Ellie and I am an integrative child and adolescent psychotherapist. I have worked with children for over 15 years and I am passionate about helping them to feel happy and safe. I also work with parents/carers to help improve their relationship with their child. I am creative and flexible in my approach and tailor my work to meet the individual needs of each child.

 

It can be daunting trying to select a therapist, so I encourage people to first book a one-off consultation. This gives you the chance to see if I am the right therapist for your family, I can gain any necessary background information from you, we can discuss if therapy is even necessary or if your child might benefit from another service. It might be that I can suggest some self-help resources (which may be all that is required), or we can even use the time as a single session. This means you can speak to a children’s mental health professional without having to join a lengthy waiting list. My special interests are not limited to those listed, so please don’t hesitate to make contact if you have any concerns around your child’s mental health.

My ‘integrative’ approach means I use a variety of techniques depending on the needs of my client. Sometimes children use art materials or communicate via play, especially if they are young. I offer sandplay therapy which is a wonderful tool for all ages, particularly when working with trauma. The main focus is always building a relationship based on safety and trust, from there I may use CBT/psychodynamic/trauma-informed techniques backed by neuroscience to offer tailored support. I am also keen to champion neurodivergence.

 

I can help with (not an exhaustive list): abuse, ADD/ADHD, anger management, anxiety, autism, bereavement, depression, divorce, emotional and behavioural difficulties, identity Issues, LGBTQ+ related issues, loss, neurodivergence, relationships, self-esteem, self-harm, sexuality, school refusal, spirituality, stress, trauma.

 

I offer: long term sessions, short-term sessions, face-to-face work, online therapy, short-term sessions, telephone therapy.
