Jeanette Ellis, BACP

Jeanette Ellis greets people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or depression. She explains things simply and makes space for each person's story. Jeanette aims to help people take small, steady steps toward feeling better and more in control.

She uses practical tools alongside conversations that explore personal history and attachment. That means looking at patterns in relationships and at unhelpful thinking that keeps problems going. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on clear, manageable ways to change reactions and habits.

Jeanette has worked in counselling for 11 years and holds BACP accreditation. She has supported people through trauma, major life changes and grief, and she has experience with addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing anger. Her background includes work with neurodiversity issues and complex family-related concerns such as adoption, blended family dynamics and caregiving stress.

In practice she adapts each conversation and treatment plan to the person in front of her. That can mean short-term, solution-focused work or a gentler attachment-led approach for deeper issues. The emphasis is on respect, sensitivity and practical ways to build confidence and resilience.

People can expect straightforward sessions that balance listening with useful strategies. Jeanette encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice progress in small steps. She supports those ready to try different ways of coping and living.

How Jeanette's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can explore these patterns and how they affect trust, closeness and reactions to stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. When delivered remotely, CBT uses structured tasks, thought records and practical exercises that can be reviewed between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing difficult memories and reducing their hold on daily life by using paced, evidence-informed techniques adapted to the person's pace.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Jeanette will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether a short solution-focused path or a deeper attachment or trauma approach is best. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work when a lower-bandwidth option is needed or when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day and to reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family and other commitments.
