Ellie Pulley , NCPS

Ellie Pulley is a counsellor who blends practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction and low self-esteem. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and manageable. Ellie holds an NCPS credential and brings 11 years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.

Ellie uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and client-centred methods to shape sessions around each person. She helps people who are coping with trauma, grief, relationship upset and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, career stress, parenting pressures and compassion fatigue.

Her work includes attention to attachment and relationship patterns, which can affect how people respond to loss, trust and separation. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, addiction and living with chronic pain or illness. Ellie aims to make plans that fit a person’s life and goals.

Sessions are practical and interactive. Ellie offers tools for managing strong emotions and for improving communication. She encourages steps people can try between sessions so progress can continue outside the room.

People seeking help start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs. Ellie accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

How Ellie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Ellie uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing practical strategies to change behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems and managing strong emotions.

She also draws on client-centred work, which places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and encourages self-directed change through empathic listening. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences can shape trust and closeness, which is helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ellie will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative process helps tailor the therapy to what feels most useful for the individual.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and teaching practical skills, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
