Jeanette Ellis , BACP

Jeanette Ellis is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those coping with major life changes and guides people dealing with trauma or difficult events. Her approach is warm and respectful and focused on each person’s needs.

Jeanette uses a mix of practical and reflective techniques to help people feel steadier day to day. She listens closely and adapts sessions to what matters most to the individual. Conversations aim to build skills for managing worry, boosting motivation and improving confidence.

With eleven years of professional experience, Jeanette has worked with a wide range of concerns. She draws on approaches that look at relationships and patterns, as well as techniques that focus on thoughts and practical steps forward. This blend helps with emotional difficulties, sleep and eating problems, addiction-related struggles, and recovery after trauma.

She also supports people with issues linked to parenting, caregiving and family stress, and with challenges such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns and chronic health problems. Jeanette is comfortable discussing identity and LGBT matters, and she can help when grief, domestic violence or separation are part of someone’s story.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided online by video call, phone, live chat or messaging. The working style is collaborative - she helps people set aims, try things between sessions, and review what’s working. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions via the service.

How Jeanette’s approaches work online

Jeanette draws on attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current feelings. This approach can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment or clinginess and want to build steadier relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change mood and behaviour. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Jeanette will discuss options with clients and choose methods together based on goals and what feels manageable. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a fuller conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while still working with a registered professional.
