Couple Therapy Cobham

 

“Hello! My name is Ellen, and I’m a fully qualified and experienced relationship therapist for individuals and couples. My approach to therapy is flexible which ensures I try and meet the unique needs of those who come to see me. I work in a confidential and sensitive way, in an environment that is open, warm, relaxed and supportive. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy and I’m a Registered Member of BACP, which means I adhere to their ethical guidelines.

There are a variety of reasons why people choose to come to couple therapy. Some are struggling to manage conflict, others have grown apart and wish to rekindle their connection. Others wish to work through an affair or gain clarity about whether to continue in the relationship. Some, have decided to separate and are seeking support in doing so respectfully, to name just a few. I will work with you to realise your aspirations for your individual relationship.

Equally, there are many issues for which people seek support as individuals. I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, healing from trauma, and many other problems. People who have consulted with me in the past, often tell me that they feel at ease with me, and that they value the different understandings they gained from counselling. These understandings they used to create change in their lives and relationships.

Qualifications

  • Post Graduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy (University of Hull)
  • Diploma in Narrative Therapy (Distinction, Open College)
  • Post Graduate Certificate in Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Well-Being (Merit, Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust)
  • Certificate of Qualification as Relate Counsellor (Relate Institute)

Background/experience

I am originally from Seattle, Washington, USA and have lived in London and Surrey for over 40 years. Prior to becoming a Counsellor, I worked in the City where I gained extensive knowledge and experience of relationships and the pressures and stresses of working life. I was a Counsellor for Relate from 2008-12 and have been in private practice since 2013. I am the mother of adult twins.

How I can help you 

  • I will listen to your stories and hopes with respect and compassion, without judgement and with your unique aspirations in mind. I will not only sit in silence as a sounding board. Instead, I take an active role in offering observations, insights, and practical tools to help you create the change you desire.
  • I will work with you and at your pace. We will talk about what is important for you to talk about, rather than me setting the agenda.
  • We will take a collaborative approach, ensuring that our work together is on track for what you wish to achieve. Often, the focus of the work changes and evolves over the course of counselling and I will check with you that things are moving in directions that you’re finding useful and helpful.
  • I always try to be as flexible as possible to cater for your schedules and lifestyles. This may involve offering sessions at times that are convenient for you or adjusting the frequency of our meetings as you progress through counselling. I will accommodate your individual requirements for the counselling process based on what is helpful for you.
  • I do not conceive that the problems people face are the result of personal failings or deficits. Rather, I see them as being created by often complex factors outside of ourselves that we are attempting to navigate.
