"We have found the couples counselling experience with Ellen a wholly positive one. Ellen puts you quickly at your ease with her warmth and empathy, and remains even handed and understanding throughout every session. There is no judgement, and we feel we can say anything in front of her. Initially I was concerned that my husband especially would find it uncomfortable opening up to a stranger, but we both very quickly grew to trust Ellen and feel comfortable in our sessions. She helps you to realise how normal your problems are, offering reassurance at all times, and how understandable your subsequent feelings and reactions are. She has given us useful coping mechanisms and consistently praises even our most humble efforts! Ellen is a very kind, understanding and insightful counsellor and we enjoy our work with her and find it invaluable."

"My partner was uncertain about accessing counselling, not being something he had ever done before, but he said he felt more comfortable than he expected and was pleasantly surprised by the experience! It enabled us to have a neutral space in which we could consider what could be improved in our relationship, but Ellen helped us to focus on the positives, which turned out to be what we really needed and we both came away feeling better about ourselves, closer and remembering why we were together."

“Now the counselling has come to an end, I find that I am in a very different place than when I started...The counselling has been invaluable and I am so grateful to Ellen for helping me reflect on, understand and move forward from past experiences in a way that was always supportive and at a pace that I was able to cope with.”

“After feeling pretty low for a while and feeling more and more disconnected and negative towards my partner, I knew something needed to change.I was recommend relationship counselling as an intervention to trial and found Ellen's details online. I had never tried any form of counselling before.Ellen's style instantly enabled my husband and I to feel relaxed. She listened deeply and gently supported us communicating. Very quickly we both felt comfortable opening up. Her style is very non judgemental and supportive.I'm pleased to say in a few sessions she enabled our relationship to move from being lost to positive, kinder and vastly both happier. Gaining both more of what we had been missing and needed from each other. I would highly recommend Ellen, her kindness, vast expertise and gentle nature is great and has been transformational with my happiness, relationship and overall family life. Thank you.”
