Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Ellie commonly combines client-centered work, cognitive behavioural techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies to help people address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience from their perspective and creating a supportive, empathetic space where the client leads the goals and pace of work - this approach is useful for life transitions, relationship difficulties, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical techniques to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings gentle attention to present-moment experience and can help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ellie works with clients to explore their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses so that the chosen strategies fit the individual. This collaborative stance helps identify what feels most effective and sustainable for each person.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, offer flexible scheduling, and adapt session styles to suit how each client prefers to communicate.
