Ellen Baldwin, Counsellor, MBACP Accred (she, her)
Nice to meet you.
I’m Ellen.
I’m an accredited counsellor and therapist in Hove, offering individual and couples therapy, EMDR, CBT menopause support groups, and Enneagram-informed personal development.
My name is Ellen and I'm an experienced counsellor, passionate about working with individuals, couples and groups. I offer a warm, confidential, non-judgmental space to work collaboratively with each person and their own unique needs. You may be experiencing a crisis, or you might find yourself repeating patterns in life and going around in circles, or you may simply just wish to grow. Whatever is prompting you to seek counselling, I will work with you to help you to understand and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and support you to find your own way forwards.
I have worked with clients for over 22 years in the voluntary sector and in private practice. My core training is as an Integrative Counsellor (Psychodynamic, Humanistic & CBT) which draws on a range of theories, meaning that I can tailor our collaborative work to best fit your individual concerns. I have also been formally trained as an Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) to help support couples facing challenges in their relationship. In addition I am also qualified as an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)therapist.
I also founded women's counselling Charity, 'Release Counselling & Therapy for Women' in Brighton in 2013. I live in Brighton with my husband and children.
Your first step
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. In an introductory 20 minute, non-obligatory call, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope to change. If we both agree that we are the right fit to work together, we’ll then decide the pace and approach that would suit you best..
My practice is based in central Hove, easily accessible from Brighton and surrounding areas.
I offer weekday appointments, both in person and online.
