ABOUT

Meet Ellie

MY APPROACH

My approach is gentle, holistic, and tailored to you

I look beyond the behaviour to understand what's really going on underneath, while helping you (or your child) build skills that last.

Together, we focus on:

  • Understanding feelings (instead of fighting them)
  • Building calm and emotional regulation
  • Growing confidence and resilience
  • Creating more connection at home and within yourself

This isn't just about getting through the hard moments, it's about building lasting wellbeing, confidence, and emotional safety.

HOW IT WORKS

Getting started is simple.

There's no pressure, just a warm space to begin.

01

Online Intake

A simple online form to help Ellie gently understand what’s been going on and how she can best support you.

02

First Session

We meet either in person or via telehealth for an initial session focused on getting to know you: your story, your needs, and what you’re hoping for.

03

Ongoing Support

From there, sessions are guided by you. This might look like having a safe space to talk, gently working through challenges, building skills and strategies, or working toward your own goals at your pace.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Real people. Real growth.

We're so grateful for the support and guidance we've received from Ellie. The positive changes we've seen in our son in such a short time have been remarkable.

Parent of a child client

A wonderful experience for my daughter. She loved attending Empower Me Within groupwork each week, grew in confidence, learned valuable life skills, and made some lovely friendships. Ellie was engaging, supportive, and had a really positive impact.

Parent, Empower Me Within group

Ellie made my daughter feel safe from the very first session. She went from not wanting to talk about her feelings at all, to actually coming home and sharing what she'd worked on. It's been beautiful to watch.

Parent of a child client

I'd been putting off therapy for years. Ellie is so warm and down-to-earth that I actually looked forward to my sessions. She helped me understand why I was feeling stuck, and gave me practical ways to move forward.
