Ellie Pollard

Ellie is our Couples Counsellor-in-Training offering low cost couples counselling.  Ellie is not taking any new clients at the moment.

I am a trainee therapist currently working towards my Masters in Contemporary Relationship Studies which will qualify me to work with individuals, couples and families. I have experience of working as a peer to peer counsellor for a large organisation and supporting a domestic abuse charity.

My Approach

I’m trained in a variety of approaches as an integrative therapist but tailor my approach to my clients rather than focusing on one particular technique. I can combined person-centred, solution focused and systemic therapy techniques along with Mindfulness strategies.  I specialise in supporting couples to improve their communication acting as a neutral person supporting both partners equally. I am able to support clients with numerous issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, work-related stress, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties.

Where It All Started

I began training as a counsellor after a long career in the corporate world to follow a path where I can help people to adapt and overcome adversity.  I understand the value of effective communication, listening and that we all need support at times.  I want to offer support and a safe environment for clients to share their concerns without judgement.
