About Ella
Ella Haselden is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and anger, and helps people facing life changes and addiction. Ella uses practical, conversational therapy to help people manage strong feelings and move forward.
She holds an MA in Clinical Counselling from the University of Chester and completed research on acknowledgements after early pregnancy loss. That work led to running a monthly support group before the pandemic and to ongoing work supporting people affected by miscarriage and bereavement.
Ella describes her approach as person-centred, which means sessions focus on what matters to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to offer practical techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and for setting manageable goals. Sessions are straightforward and action-oriented when appropriate.
Her background includes roles at Compass Counselling and the Psychological Therapies Unit in Liverpool, and commissioned work with Liverpool Whitechapel Centre and Aigburth Drive Hostel. Those roles involved supporting people with multiple and complex needs who were working to change difficult life situations.
Since 2018 she has run a private practice and sees people for regular sessions. Ella’s work often covers grief, forgiveness, motivation and issues around self-worth. She aims to help people recognise patterns, try new strategies, and build small changes into daily life.
How her approaches are used in online work
Ella draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's concerns at the centre and focuses on listening and understanding what matters most. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and steps that create change quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ella works with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses, mixing listening, practical exercises and short-term goal-setting as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep continuity between appointments. Ask about session length and any required subscription details when arranging the first meeting.
