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.
