About Jeanette

Jeanette Ellis is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She works with individuals coping with life changes, trauma and loss, and with those managing addiction or ongoing health challenges. Jeanette writes plainly and offers calm, practical support for people who feel ready to make changes.

She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps you can try between meetings. Jeanette pays attention to attachment patterns and relationships, and she uses cognitive and solution-focused techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies.

Her background includes over a decade of professional experience in the UK and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has included work with people facing grief, parenting strain, workplace stress and identity concerns such as LGBT issues.

In a session you can expect respectful listening and practical suggestions you can use straight away. Jeanette aims to make the process collaborative so the plan fits your life and needs. She encourages small steps and recognises that change takes time.

Approaches used in online counselling and what they do

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they relate to others in certain ways and find new, healthier patterns. Client-centred work gives you space to be heard and to set the pace of therapy, helping confidence and self-understanding to grow. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree on a way forward. That plan can change as you learn more about what helps you most.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. Online meetings can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to meet when travel is difficult, and they can suit people who need a quieter setting or lower bandwidth options. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
