Jeanette Ellis, BACP

Jeanette Ellis is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She offers a calm, respectful approach and helps people work through trauma and difficult life changes. Jeanette aims to make the first steps feel manageable and to support people as they explore what matters to them.

Jeanette adapts conversations and plans to fit each person she sees. She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and find workable strategies for daily life. Sessions typically involve setting small goals and practising new skills between meetings.

Across her 11 years in practice Jeanette has worked with a broad range of concerns, including relationship and family difficulties, grief, addictions, and caregiver stress. She also lists specific focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and aging and geriatric issues.

Her approach is collaborative and non-judgemental. People who come for support can expect a counsellor who listens closely and helps them make choices that fit their situation. Jeanette is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

She works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. If you want to explore whether she could help, the route to beginning is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and patterns formed early in life. In sessions this can mean looking at how past connections affect current reactions and finding new ways to relate to others and yourself. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor listening closely and reflecting back what matters most to you. This helps people feel heard and to make choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical exercises and experiments. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress to build concrete coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanette will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the work matches what you want to change or better understand.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, reducing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and avoid the need to be on camera if someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective help this way, and the practical focus of CBT and the collaborative nature of client-centred and attachment work translate well to remote sessions.
