Hi there, I’m Elle! I’m a compassionate and supportive therapist dedicated to helping you navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, or just feeling a bit overwhelmed, I’m here to listen without judgement and work with you to find the best path forward. My goal is to create a warm and safe space where you can express yourself freely and feel understood. Together, we can explore your thoughts and feelings, set meaningful goals, and develop strategies to help you to thrive.
I worked as an integrative counsellor with my core training and grounding in the person-centred approach. I adopt various other approaches such as attachment theory, cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic therapy to tailor my practice to each client’s unique needs. I believe that therapy is not a one-sized-fits-all approach, and I strive to provide the most effective support for your journey.
I currently work as a therapist in a University and have gained valuable experience working in primary care, a local charity and in a NHS staff counselling service. This diverse background has enriched my ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. As a registered member of the BACP, I am dedicated to maintaining ethical practices and prioritising the needs of my clients in our work together.
Taking the courageous step to acknowledge that you need support is a significant milestone. It takes strength to reach out for help, and I want you to know you are not alone on this journey. I look forward to being a part of your path towards healing and growth, and together, we can explore the challenges you face and celebrate your progress along the way.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
